WASHINGTON (AP) -- The suspect in the murder of intern Chandra Levy has been charged with first-degree murder in D.C.
Ingmar Guandique was brought Wednesday afternoon to the police department's violent crimes branch for booking ahead of his initial court appearance, which is expected the next day. Until then, he'll be returned to the D.C. jail.
D.C. police issued an arrest warrant last month for Guandique, accusing him of sexually assaulting and killing Levy on a trail in Rock Creek Park in May 2001. The Modesto, Calif., native's remains were found in the Washington park a year later.
The 27-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador has been serving a 10-year sentence for a separate assault conviction at a federal prison in Adelanto, Calif.
