A 31-year-old man allegedly stabbed a transgender college student more than 40 times in under 10 minutes inside a Seattle student housing complex and left the gruesome scene for her traumatized peers to find. Christopher Leahy was charged with first-degree murder Thursday for the shocking slaughter of Juniper Blessing, a 19-year-old student at the University of Washington, on Sunday night, KOMO News reported. The alleged killer turned himself in to Bellevue police Tuesday night following the release of surveillance images on the night of the grisly murder showing his face.
