Police arrested a Yale University lab technician on Thursday in the murder of a graduate student whose body was found inside a wall on the New Haven, Connecticut, campus the day she was to be married.
Raymond Clark, 24, was taken away in handcuffs a day after police grilled him over the killing of Annie Le, a pharmacology student who was found on Sunday in the basement of the laboratory building where they both worked.
Police used DNA testing in the investigation and New Haven Police Chief James Lewis said there were no other suspects.
The case has shocked students at the Ivy League university, whose campus is secured by dozens of surveillance cameras and requires ID swipe cards to access buildings.
Le's body showed marks of strangulation or some other kind of neck compression. After an intensive five-day search, police found her carefully hidden body on the day she had planned to wed her college sweetheart.
Clark had worked at the Yale campus for several years and was in the same building where Le, also 24, carried out her research, but it was not clear whether they were acquainted.
Clark's bond was set for $3 million, Lewis said.
Students at Yale have left flowers and lit candles near the laboratory.
