A former Bothell City Council member is under investigation for the murder of a 20-year-old woman who was found dead inside her home Tuesday.

Court documents indicate that the suspect called his attorney first, who then called 911 to report the crime. When officers arrived at the home on South Orchard Street near 46th Ave S, they found James McNeal with blood on his hands and clothes. The victim was found dead in an upstairs bedroom, and investigators believe due to the nature of her injuries, she had been suffocated.

Neighbors are still reeling from the murder of Liliya Guyvoronsky, 20, whom everyone called Lily.
