The University of Virginia lacrosse player accused of killing his girlfriend told police that he kicked in her door and shook her violently, repeatedly banging her head against the wall, according to court documents released today.
The body of Yeardley Love, 22, was found Monday after an early morning 911 call, face down on her pillow in a pool of blood. Her face was covered in scrapes and bruises, according to the warrant, and her right eye was swollen shut. A large bruise on the right side of her face “appears to have been caused by blunt force trauma,” according to a police request for a search warrant.

According to the documents, George Huguely, also 22, waived his Miranda rights and spoke with police, telling them how he kicked through a door on his way to Love’s bedroom. Police reported that it looked like the door to her room had been punched through, with hairs still visible hear the hole.
Huguely had cuts on his leg, the document said.
Love, who was a varsity lacrosse player on the women’s team, was already dead when police arrived, though rescue personnel tried to revive her.
