CCTV footage showed that the defendant and his girlfriend walked back to the defendant's home in Lake City, Seattle, last Friday evening (9th). The next day, the defendant left the residence alone and took out the items wrapped in a towel from under his clothes.
A few hours later, the neighbors found a lot of water seeping out of the defendant's home and informed the defendant's landlord, which revealed the murder.
Two days after the incident, the defendant was arrested on suspicion of molesting and assaulting a nurse in the hospital.
Cruel method of committing the crime
The New York Post reported that after being arrested, the defendant admitted to the police that he had taken two "ecstasy pills" and smoked marijuana on the day of the incident, and said that "he might have killed" his girlfriend.
The defendant said that he strangled his girlfriend's neck, twisted her neck, and pushed her into the water in the bathtub.

He later tried to "wake up" his girlfriend in a bizarre way, "including sprinkling acai powder on her" and "placing a ball in her mouth."
Prosecutors said that when the deceased was found, her back was covered in blood, her throat was cut, an ice pack was placed on her throat, and a small object was placed behind her neck to support her head.
Officials said that the defendant was from China and started dating the deceased in January this year. The two had attended the same high school in Hawaii.
