(AP) - The trial of a New York City nightclub bouncer charged with raping and strangling a college student from Boston gets under way Monday in a Brooklyn courtroom.

Forty-four-year-old Darryl Littlejohn is charged with murder in the 2006 death of Imette St. Guillen, who attended John Jay College in Manhattan.

Littlejohn has pleaded not guilty. He was a bouncer at a Manhattan bar where St. Guillen was last seen. 

Littlejohn was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for kidnapping another young woman.
Authorities say DNA evidence links Littlejohn to both crimes but the defense says evidence was tampered.
