Daniel Kralik has been charged with murder for allegedly strangling his girlfriend during a domestic incident at her Humboldt Park neighborhood home.
Kralik, 31, is accused of killing Victoria A. McManus in her home in the 1200 block of North Rockwell Street, authorities said.
Kralik was arrested and charged after admitting he fatally injured the 26-year-old, police said. Authorities allege he strangled the woman with his hands during a domestic incident about 12:49 a.m. Wednesday.
McManus was pronounced dead at the scene 15 minutes later, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. An autopsy confirmed she died of strangulation and her death was ruled a homicide.
Police said Kralik was McManus’ boyfriend.
Kralik, of the 2200 block of West Iowa Street, is expected to appear in court for a bond hearing Thursday.
