Investigators have said a man accused of killing a jogger in Queens had searched the internet for 'forcible rape' and had pornography on his cellphone.

Chanel Lewis, now 21, is due to go on trial for the 2016 murder of Karina Vetrano later this year.

Vetrano, 30, was found strangled and sexually assaulted on an empty path in a wooded area of Howard Beach, New York, after going for a run.

Assistant Queens District Attorney Brad Leventhal told a court today that this new search history evidence could be the first sign of motive in the case, reports ABC News.
