SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Far from their prestigious campuses, a Northwestern University professor and a University of Oxford finance officer were jailed in the San Francisco area on Saturday after eight days as fugitives in the death of a young hairdresser in Chicago who was repeatedly stabbed until the knife broke, police said.

The Northwestern microbiologist, Wyndham Lathem, had a personal relationship with the victim, although the nature of it wasn't clear, and Lathem had made a video apologizing for what he called "the worst mistake of my life," according to investigators.
 
Lathem, 42, was being held without bail in Alameda County and faced a court appearance in the city of Pleasanton. Lathem was under intensive observation Saturday in jail, Alameda County Sheriff's Sgt. Ray Kelly said.
 
The other suspect, Andrew Warren, a treasury assistant at one of Oxford's residential colleges in England, was being held at the county jail in San Francisco.

An Oxford University employee alleged to have murdered a hair stylist has reportedly been placed on suicide watch after handing himself in to police.

Somerville College senior treasury assistant Andrew Warren, 56, and US Professor Wyndham Lathem, 42, gave themselves up on Friday after spending more than a week on the run.

They triggered a nationwide manhunt after allegedly stabbing Trenton Cornell-Duranleau, 26, multiple times in Lathem's apartment in Chicago on July 27.

Warren is expected to be charged with first degree murder after handing himself in to police in California.
