Nathaniel Fujita, 18, from Wayland, Massachusetts has been accused of killing ex-girlfriend Lauren Astley, 19.

As Reported By DailyMailOnline.com:
An 18-year-old student cut his ex-girlfriend’s throat, strangled her with a bungee chord and dumped her body in a marsh, according to authorities.
Nathaniel Fujita, 18, from Wayland, Massachusetts, has been charged with the murder of Lauren Astley who he recently broke up with after a three-year relationship.
In what prosecutors believe was an act of teenage domestic violence, Fujita – who is the son of a Berklee College of Music professor – was arrested after a search of his family’s home found blood in the garage and his clothing – which was stained with blood – stashed in the attic.
He has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.
Middlesex District Attorney Gerard T. Leone Jr. said: ‘We do believe this to be a case of teen dating violence. Lauren broke off the relationship…It’s a classic fatal paradigm that we see around teen dating relationships.’
