Salon Horror in Central Falls, Murder Suspect Captured After Deadly Robbery Turns Violent.
A shocking act of violence has left the community of Central Falls reeling after a woman was found brutally murdered inside a local salon, with police swiftly tracking down and arresting the suspect. Authorities confirmed that 66-year-old Lawrence Beauvais was taken into custody Friday morning at a hotel in North Attleborough.
The victim, identified as 50-year-old Putali Kunwar, was discovered lifeless inside Sue’s Salon on Hunt Street on Thursday afternoon. According to court documents, officers responded to the scene around 12:50 p.m., where they found Kunwar lying face down in the manager’s office. A broken and emptied cash register nearby suggested the attack may have stemmed from a robbery gone horribly wrong.
Investigators revealed that surveillance footage played a crucial role in identifying the suspect. The video allegedly shows Beauvais entering the salon before opening hours and confronting Kunwar. He is seen pulling out what appeared to be a pocket knife, leading to a violent struggle as the victim attempted to defend herself. Authorities report that Kunwar was stabbed eight times during the attack.
The footage further shows the suspect tampering with the cash register and later disabling the surveillance system in an apparent attempt to cover his tracks. Beauvais now faces charges including first-degree murder and first-degree robbery and is awaiting extradition to Rhode Island.
Police also disclosed Beauvais’s past criminal history, intensifying concerns as the investigation continues.
