LURID DETAILS EMERGE IN LAUREN ASTLEY MURDER

A JILTED Massachusetts football jock's depraved killing of his ex-girlfriend was filled with more sickening details in court yesterday. After he hacked her throat and strangled Lauren Astley, 18, then dumped her bod, Nathaniel Fujita, also 18, was spotted driving shirtless, windows down, music blaring.
Among the tidbits yesterday in a suburban Boston court were:
* A medical examiner’s report that she was battered, had no fewer than three deep neck wounds and was choked so forcefully that her eyes, neck, face and gums hemorrhaged. Fujita was a weightlifter (lots of time for that now!) and she was 100 lbs. soaking wet.
* Fujita then dumped her tiny body into a marsh. A cyclist found Astley’s
knees and one arm sticking out of the water the next morning.
* Prosecutors also say Fujita made an attempt to cover up; police found bloody clothing and sneakers in the Fujita home, in addition to a second pair of wet sneakers and a sweatshirt with mud in the pockets.
* Despondent over their break-up, Fujita's mom even spoke to Lauren about her concerns.
