Days before UVA student and lacrosse player Yeardley Love was found dead in her 14th Street apartment, she fought with her boyfriend George Huguely, the student and lacrosse player charged with first-degree murder in Love’s death.
According to search warrant affidavits released today by the Charlottesville Circuit Court, an unnamed witness mentioned an e-mail correspondence between Huguely and Love that took place one week prior to Love’s death. Police salvaged a portion of an e-mail, but contents of the letter have not been made public. The e-mail was recovered from Love’s laptop, which Huguely told police he deposited in a garbage bin on Sadler Street, within one block of his apartment.
The affidavits also mentions a police interview with an unnamed witness who says she saw "Love hit Huguely with her purse" days before her death (via the Washington Post).
