  • Seattle homicide detectives took a 31-year-old former University of Washington student into custody after he surrendered Wednesday night to Bellevue police in the May 10 stabbing death of a 19-year-old student.
  • Police had released surveillance photos hours earlier and asked the public to help find him after a three-day search tied to the killing in a laundry room at Nordheim Court apartments.
  • The victim was found with stab wounds late Sunday, and University of Washington police and Seattle firefighters were unable to revive the student.
