A 18-year-old is accused of brutally raping and killing his 20-year-old roommate before abusing her corpse.
Austin Lance Grammer was arrested in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, last week after police found Leslie Perry's dead body inside the home where they lived.
The teenager now faces multiple charges, including manslaughter, rape, abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence, the Daily Mail reports.
He is being held at Benton County Jail where his bond has been set at US$150,000 ($208,300).
Authorities were called to the home following reports of a death on late on February 17.
