The man charged with strangling Chicago honors student Ruth George did so because he was angry that she was ignoring his unwanted advances, prosecutors said in court documents.
Ruth George, 19, of Berwyn, a suburb of Chicago, was found dead in her car at a campus parking garage at the University of Illinois at Chicago on Nov. 23. Donald Thurman, 26, of Chicago was arrested the next day and is charged with first-degree murder and aggravated sexual assault.
Thurman was released from prison on parole last year after having served two years of a six-year sentence for armed robbery. He was ordered held without bail pending a hearing on Dec. 16 on Wednesday.
In a court filing asking that he be denied bail, prosecutors said Thurman admitted under questioning that he choked George to death and sexually assaulted her.
Prosecutors said Thurman thought George was "pretty and tried talking to her, but the victim ignored him" when he approached her and a sorority sister.
When he followed her to her car, Thurman unsuccessfully tried to talk to her again, and "then the defendant cat-called her," they said.
"The victim continued to ignore the defendant and continued walking to where her car was parked," according to the filing.
"Angry that he was being ignored," Thurman put George in a choke hold, prosecutors said. They fell to the ground, and Thurman put George, who was unconscious, in the backseat of her car, sexually assaulted her and killed her, they said.

The perp deserves the highest penalty, if found guilty. He looks like a completely self centered ashaole.
Dreadful. RIP.
Gosh, can't see any overt problem here... /s
People are put in prison as punishment for their crimes, but that is not the only reason. It is also important to keep persons with this poor amount of decision making skills off the street so they won't cause more harm.
This young woman should be alive today, but here we are with yet another example of either bleeding hearts, overcrowded prisons, or both.
I don't want people put away in prison for a long period unless they are seriously flawed. When they are, people should expect to be protected from them.
...after having served two years of a six-year sentence for armed robbery.

I know Trump has promoted letting out people early who had minor offences, like weed, and had served a portion of their time.
This liberal crap of letting out felons convicted of major crimes, like armed robbery in this case, has got to stop!
Get some coffee or go back to sleep dumbass.
I think non-violent offences should be classified into
1. Self-”harm” - like drug takers etc. - counselling and no imprisonment
2. Others - embezzlement, etc - community work of some kind, minor imprisonment - with other non-violent offenders. Parole on good behaviour
Violent offenders - increase the sentences + counselling + make them work. Separate out repeat offenders from first timers.
Repeat violent offenders - toss the book twice
Where was the sorority sister during all that which followed?
wait. I’ve read on FR for YEARS that catcalls are a compliment, so i dunno what HER problem was. I’m thinkin’ it was her time of the month. / s
Not in the least. the victim is an Indian-origin Christian and the perp seems to be non-Muslim
And the killer looks like a son Obama never had.
“In a statement issued through a spokesman, George’s family said they “hold no hatred” toward Thurman.”
What a mom and dad...
Liberals enable such violence. If conservatives were in charge, he would get a very speedy trial and justice would soon be served.
Wrong! This is the son, the son that Obama and his band of G-d haters created. Inside his head is a little Al Sharpton constantly telling him that he’s been done wrong and has a right to be a violent thug. It is the central, de riguer of Hip Hop culture to be a criminal and a rapist. The constant consumption of pornography is a daily fact of life in Thug Culture. These men are in a constant state of sexual agitation. Add the glorification of violence in Hollywood movies, where every injustice is resolved with horrific acts of violence and this is what you get. All of it is from the Left; he is the quintessential Democratic Activist. From abortion to rape and murder they all love Death.
My post is a reference to Saint Trayvon Martin (the would be killer of Zimmerman). Obama said “he looks like the son I never had.”.
