Father charged with murder in Lake George Amber Alert case due in court

A father charged in the murder of his 9-year-old daughter after prompting an Amber Alert in Lake George, New York is due in court Wednesday. Luciano Frattolin, 45, of Canada, is accused of falsely reporting that his daughter, Melina, went missing while they were visiting Lake George earlier this month. His story led New York State Police to issue an Amber Alert, but investigators later said there were inconsistencies with his account. He initially told police he was pulled over in a parking lot to urinate and, while he was away from the car, Melina was abducted by two men in a white van, state police said. The girl's body was discovered the next day in a pond about 30 miles north of Lake George in Ticonderoga. A later autopsy determined that her death was a homicide and she died of asphyxiation due to drowning. Her father, 45, was charged with second-degree murder and concealment of a corpse in the case. He pleaded not guilty. Police said he does not have a criminal record or a background of domestic violence. Melina lived with her mother in Montreal, and her parents had been estranged since 2019. She and her father traveled to the U.S. from Montreal for vacation on July 11 and were supposed to return home on July 19, the day after she was reported missing. Frattolin is set to be arraigned at 10 a.m. Wednesday at the Essex County Courthouse in Elizabethtown.

MS-13 members storm funeral of rival gang member in Guatemala, killing at least 7

Armed gang members stormed into the funeral of a rival gang member in Guatemala, killing at least 7 people and wounding 13 others, government officials said. Guatemala is plagued by the violent rivalry between the Barrio 18 and Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, gangs. Interior Minister Francisco Jimenez blamed the attack at the funeral home on Tuesday in the capital, Guatemala City, on their rivalry. The funeral, Jimenez said in a statement, was that of a Barrio 18 member who was killed Monday. While the wake was taking place, "rival gang members from Mara Salvatrucha stormed the funeral home and fired at the family and friends" of the deceased, he added. The attackers, who arrived at the funeral home on motorcycles, fled the scene. Authorities cordoned off the area as forensic teams recovered the bodies. Jimenez said the wake had been considered "high risk" due to "the profile of the deceased," and regretted that the police officers assigned to monitor the event had abandoned their posts before the attack. He called the situation "unacceptable" and said the officers would be investigated by the internal affairs unit. "If found responsible, they will immediately be brought before the courts," he said. The MS-13 gang was formed in Los Angeles in the 1980s by Salvadoran immigrants who fled the civil war in their home country. The brutal gang has since spread to Guatemala and Honduras, turning the region into one of the most violent in the world. It's violent grip in Central America is one of the forces driving thousands of migrants to flee to the United States. Earlier this year, the U.S. designated MS-13 a terrorist organization, with President Trump calling it "probably the meanest, worst gang in the world" and "an evil group of people. They're sick and deranged." The Barrio 18 and MS-13 gangs are battling for territorial control in Guatemala, extorting shopkeepers, transport workers and civilians. Those who refuse to pay are often killed. Tuesday's attack "was not directed against ordinary citizens, but rather the result of the cancer that gangs represent for the country," Guatemala's security chief said. Guatemala ended 2024 with a homicide rate of 16.1 per 100,000 inhabitants — twice the global average — according to the interior ministry. However, the figure has dropped from 29.6 in 2014. Authorities attribute half of violent crimes to drug cartel activity and territorial disputes between gangs.
