An Oxford University employee has been arrested alongside a U.S. professor following a nationwide manhunt for murder suspects.

They have been accused of fatally stabbing Trenton Cornell-Duranleau, 26, in Lathem's apartment in Chicago on July 27.

This undated photo released by the Chicago Police Department shows Wyndham Lathem, an associate professor of microbiology and immunology at Northwestern University. The two men were each arrested on a charge of murder, Farrell said.

"Both individuals will be held accountable for their actions and we hope today's arrest brings some comfort for the victim's family", Chicago police said in a statement.

Detectives said they believed they knew their whereabouts but wanted to end the situation calmly without another "tragedy".

Lathem was arrested in Oakland and Warren was taken into custody in San Francisco, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Earlier in the case, the manhunt took police to Lake Geneva, a resort community in Wisconsin.

Chicago Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi announced the development on Twitter, writing: "CPD has gotten word that Prof". Warren had arrived in the United States three days before the death of Cornell-Duranleau and was seen in surveillance video leaving the building with Lathem that day.

Warren, of Swindon, Wilts, used to be a Stagecoach driver before becoming a senior treasury assistant at Somerville College at the University of Oxford.
