NEW YORK (AP) — Authorities say a woman was stabbed to death inside her lower Manhattan apartment by a man who followed her from the street into her building. Police say 35-year-old Christina Yuna Lee was found fatally wounded in her bathtub at about 4:30 a.m. Sunday. The suspected killer was arrested after he at first tried to flee down a fire escape and then barricaded himself inside the apartment. Police said Monday that 25-year-old Assamad Nash was arrested on charges of murder and burglary. It’s not clear if he has an attorney who can comment.
