California prosecutors have charged a Northwestern University professor with murder in connection with the stabbing death of a 26-year-old Chicago man.

Wyndham Lathem was charged in Alameda County on Monday in the July 27 fatal stabbing of Trenton James Cornell-Duranleau, whose body was found that night in Lathem’s Chicago apartment.

Lathem and Andrew Warren, a financial officer at England’s Oxford University, were on the run for about a week before they surrendered Friday to authorities in Oakland and San Francisco. Lathem’s attorney, Kenneth H. Wine, said before the hearing that Lathem would plead not guilty.
