The medical examiner said Sheykhet suffered injuries described as &#8220;sharp or blunt trauma of the head.&#8221;<br />

Darby&#8217;s parents had begged him to surrender in a statement read by his lawyer earlier Tuesday.</p>

Alina Sheykhet is believed to have been killed by her ex-boyfriend Mathew Darby, police said</h6>
<p>Sheykhet, a physical therapist major, had recently filed a protection from abuse order against Darby, who is facing rape charges in an unrelated case. She wrote that Darby climbed up the gutter of her home and broke in through the second-floor window. &#8220;He did this because I left him and stopped answering his phone calls,&#8221; Sheykhet wrote.<br />
She described him as abusive, controlling and jealous. The protection order was granted.<br />
records show that Darby, 21, was charged in March with rape, sexual assault and other charges in another county.</p>
