Andrew Warren has been accused, alongside an American professor, of murdering 26-year-old hair stylist Trenton Cornell-DuranleauAn Oxford University employee and a US professor have been charged with murdering a 26-year-old hair stylist found in Chicago with more than 40 stab wounds. Somerville College’s Andrew Warren, 56, and Professor Wyndham Lathem, 42, are accused of killing Trenton Cornell-Duranleau in Lathem’s Chicago apartment. Police announced on Saturday that they had both been charged with first-degree murder after they were returned to the city from California, where they handed themselves in following a nationwide manhunt. Their charges came after a post-mortem examination found the victim, who police say was in a personal relationship with Lathem, had methamphetamines in his system. Microbiologist Lathem, since sacked by Northwestern University, plans to plead not guilty, according to his lawyer, Kenneth Wine.
