Prosecutors on Sunday revealed for the first time details of the murder a Northwestern University professor (since fired) and a University of Oxford employee are alleged to have committed last month, The Chicago Tribune reported. The two men lured another man -- the boyfriend of the Northwestern professor -- to an apartment where they stabbed him repeatedly. The two men charged with the crime had been emailing for months, and had developed an elaborate fantasy in which they would kill someone, and then kill each other simultaneously, authorities said. Both men have confessed to authorities.
