Charging decision expected Monday in UW student homicide investigation; $10M bail in place

SEATTLE — Memorials are growing on the University of Washington campus and at an off-campus apartment complex for 19-year-old student Juniper Blessing, who police said was found stabbed to death in a laundry room last Sunday.

Christopher Leahy, 31, surrendered to police shortly after surveillance photos were released showing Leahy at the homicide scene. The suspect remains in custody after a judge found probable cause for first-degree murder with a deadly weapon and set Leahy’s bail at $10 million in a first court appearance on Thursday.
