Man Accused in Levy Slaying Faces New Charges


WASHINGTON (AP) -- The man accused of killing Washington federal intern Chandra Levy in 2001 has been charged with threatening a witness in the case.

A superseding indictment filed Wednesday in D.C. Superior Court charges Ingmar Guandique with obstructing justice, threatening to injure a person and conspiracy. Guandique was charged in April with first-degree murder and other counts in connection with Levy's death. He has pleaded not guilty to those charges.

According to the new indictment, Guandique wrote a note from jail threatening to kill the witness or the witness' family and had someone deliver it to the witness. The indictment says a second threatening letter was mailed to the witness by someone involved in the alleged conspiracy.
