Repeat offender linked to student’s murder, victim’s mother says

Varun Batchigari, an Indian national, was arrested in Berlin while attempting to flee the U.S. after being charged with the first-degree murder of university student Julissa Salazar in Arizona. Salazar, 19, was strangled in her apartment, and the suspect reportedly broke up with her before the killing. He entered the U.S. on an F-1 visa, was expelled from the University of Arizona prior to his arrest, and is now facing extradition back to the U.S.
