Police in Virginia are investigating reports that a slain University of Virginia lacrosse player and a student charged in her death had been involved in previous altercations.
Yeardley Love was found dead in the bedroom of her Charlottesville apartment early Monday. Men's lacrosse player George Huguely has been charged with first-degree murder. Police say the two had been in a relationship that ended.
Charlottesville Police Chief Tim Longo said Friday that there have been several reports suggesting prior incidents between the two, including one at a bar the day before Love was found dead.
Longo said the department is interviewing people to confirm or dispel those accounts.
Also Friday, dozens of mourners gathered at a Maryland funeral home for the viewing of Love.
The visitation, the first of two on Friday at a Towson funeral home, was restricted to friends and family. Her teammates were expected later in the day and a funeral is planned Saturday in Baltimore.
UVA president John Casteen is to meet Virginia's governor next week about requiring police to report off-campus student arrests to their universities. He says the university wasn't notified of Huguely's 2008 arrest at another college for allegedly resisting arrest for public intoxication.
