Repeat offender accused of college student’s murder was known ‘threat’ after prior arrest: victim’s mom

University of Arizona student Julissa Salazar was found strangled to death near campus. Her alleged killer, Varun Batchigari, boarded a flight out of the U.S., but law enforcement captured him in Berlin, Germany. Federal sources report that Batchigari entered the US on an F-1 student visa and that his alleged motive may have been tied to a breakup with Salazar.
