A US university student has been charged with murder. He told police he fatally beat a man – breaking every bone in his face.
Etute told investigators he punched Smith five times in the face and “stomped” on him, but didn’t call police despite hearing “bubbling and gurgling” from the victim as he left the apartment. Cops found the badly beaten man’s body one day later, the newspaper reported.
An autopsy revealed Smith, a restaurant worker, died from blunt force trauma to the head. All of the bones in his face were broken and his teeth were also missing, the Roanoke Times reported. At one point during Wednesday’s bond hearing, Turk reportedly asked Etute – clad in an orange prison jumpsuit – how he had been impacted by the charges.
