OXFORD University employee Andrew Warren, who has been on the run on suspicion of murder, has been arrested alongside his alleged accomplice, Chicago Police have confirmed.
Andrew Warren and co-accused Wyndham and Lathem were arrested in Oakland, California
Mr Warren, 56, and co-accused Wyndham Lathem, a 42-year-old US professor were wanted by Chicago Police in connection with the murder of Trenton Cornell-Duranleau, 26.
The pair were arrested in Oakland, in California, although Mr Cornell-Duranleau’s body was discovered in a Chicago appartment.
Chicago Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi announced the development on Twitter: "CPD has gotten word that Prof Wyndham Lathem and Andrew Warren are both in police custody in Oakland, CA."
Mr Warren, a former Stagecoach bus driver, is senior treasury assistant at Somerville College where he is in charge of payroll and pensions.
Trenton Cornell-Duranleau was found murder in a Chicago apartment last month
Earlier Oxford University had urged Mr Warren to hand himself in and a spokesman said his colleagues were "shocked" to have heard of the case.
Officers reported finding “blood everywhere” in the apartment where Mr Cornell-Duranleau, a hairstylist, was discovered.
The Cook County medical examiner’s office said Mr Cornell-Duranleau had died of multiple stab wounds and ruled the death a homicide.
