Indian-origin man kills girlfriend in US, arrested in Germany
A 20-year-old Indian student has been apprehended in Germany and charged with first-degree murder following the death of his girlfriend in Arizona, US. Police responded to a welfare check on Thursday in Tucson, Arizona, where they discovered 19-year-old Julissa Rubi Salazar dead in an apartment near the University of Arizona. Investigation revealed signs of trauma on Salazar's body, leading Tucson Police Department detectives to identify her boyfriend, Varun Batchigari, as the suspect.
Batchigari fled the US and attempted to travel to India but was intercepted, arrested upon landing in Germany with the support of FBI partners. He faces extradition to Arizona, where he will be held at the Pima County Adult Detention Complex.
