LONG BEACH -- A 21-year-old Mission Viejo man appeared briefly in the Long Beach Superior Court Wednesday for a pre-trial hearing in connection with last year's strangulation of a Cal State Long Beach nursing student.
Police and prosecutors allege Jonathan Huynh killed his girlfriend, Kate Sue Yi, in a fit of jealous rage on April 2, then stuffed her battered and bloodied body into a closet in her apartment near the college campus she attended.
The 21-year-old man is charged with first degree murder and faces the possibility of life without parole if convicted on all counts. He is being held in lieu of $1 million bail.
Huynh was ordered Wednesday to return to the Long Beach Superior Court for another pre-trial hearing on July 7.
No trial date has been set.
