NEW HAVEN, Connecticut (CNN) -- New Haven Police Chief James Lewis on Thursday described the killing of Yale graduate student Annie Le as an instance of "workplace violence," but he did not elaborate.
Clark is placed in a police vehicle after his arrest Thursday at a Cromwell, Connecticut, motel.
Raymond J. Clark III, 24, has been charged with Le's murder and bond has been set at $3 million, Lewis told reporters at a news conference.
Thursday morning, police arrested the Yale lab technician in the strangulation of Le, whose body was found in the wall of an off-campus research building.
While the motive is still unclear, Lewis said police do not consider the killing a domestic crime and are treating it as the result of "workplace violence."
Hours after his arrest, Clark appeared in court and did not enter a plea. Standing with chains on his ankles and his palms on the table, he looked only at the judge and spoke only to acknowledge that his rights were read to him.
A court date of October 6 was set.
