A twisted Northwestern University professor accused of murdering his boyfriend in 2017 pulled a knife on a man he met on Grindr a year earlier while asking if he could pretend to stab him as they had sex, according to court testimony.
Jeremy Zaloun, testifying Thursday before a Cook County judge in the first-degree murder trial of former professor Wyndham Lathem, said he denied the frightening request by the renowned microbiologist and told him he wanted to leave, the Chicago Tribune reported.
“He told me I would leave when he said I could,” the 46-year-old military vet told jurors. “I watched him basically turn from Fred Flintstone to Freddy Krueger in about 30 seconds.”
The January 2016 encounter occurred in Lathem’s high-rise condo, Zaloun testified, and ended only when he pulled his gun on the professor and ran out.
Zaloun later reported the incident in August 2017 as Lathem, 47, was named as a suspect in the stabbing death of his boyfriend, Trenton Cornell-Duranleau, 26, whose body was found stabbed more than 70 times in Lathem’s condo on July 27, 2017, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
Prosecutors allege Lathem killed the young hairstylist from Michigan after entering a death pact with an Oxford University financial officer, Andrew Warren, who flew to Chicago from England days earlier.
