Both were found Wednesday night in an apartment complex common area.

Police say the couple had lived together at the complex for about a month. The victim and suspect had been in a relationship for about six months.

IU associate vice president for international services Christopher Viers says Wang had transferred from North Seattle Community College in Washington. She was originally from Jiyuan city in China's northwestern Henan province.
