Disturbing court documents detail the arrest of a 26-year-old man who was charged with first-degree murder and felony assault after a woman was found dead in a flooded townhome.

King County prosecutors charged Andy Chu who told detectives he "may have been responsible for killing her." Documents indicate the victim was Chu's girlfriend who was visiting from Hawaii.

Seattle police were called to Chu's townhome in Lake City's Olympic Hills neighborhood Saturday in the 3000 block of Northeast 133rd Street.

According to charging documents, the woman's body was discovered after neighbors saw water coming from the townhome and called the landlord.

Once police and fire made entry, they found a bathtub full of water and the bathroom sink running. Police said the victim was found on her back with a throat laceration and "an ice pack on her throat and a small block behind her neck, supporting her head."
