NEW YORK (AP) - An Academy Award-winning songwriter’s son is due to answer allegations that he killed his swimsuit designer girlfriend. She was found dead in a bathtub at a trendy New York hotel.
Nicholas Brooks has a court date Tuesday in Manhattan. He’s been held without bail since his arrest in Sylvie Cachay’s (CASH’-ay) Dec. 9 death.
The 24-year-old Brooks was initially charged with attempted murder and strangulation. Court records show he has since been indicted on a murder charge.

Medical examiners say the 33-year-old Cachay was strangled and drowned.
