ATLANTA (TCD) -- A judge has denied bond for a man accused of throwing a 28-year-old woman out of a moving Lamborghini to her death in October.
According to a statement, on Oct. 11 at approximately 11 p.m., Atlanta Police Department officers responded to a call at Peachtree Road NE and Piedmont Road in Buckhead. When they arrived, officers found an unconscious female victim in the street. She was transported to a hospital but died from her injuries.
An incident report identified the victim as Catherine Khan. She was reportedly "thrown out of a moving 2017 white Lamborghini Huracan."
A week after the incident, Atlanta Police said 31-year-old Alfred Megbuluba turned himself in to Fulton County Jail. He was charged with murder, theft by taking, financial transaction card theft, and financial transaction card fraud. The incident report listed him as the owner of the Lamborghini.
According to WAGA-TV, a witness who called 911 said, "There was a fight, there was an altercation. I guess the Lamborghini took off and she was thrown out the car from the top of the roof."
WSB-TV reports video taken outside a restaurant where Khan worked allegedly shows her pounding on the Lamborghini with her fists. Khan’s friends reportedly said Megbuluba stole Khan’s wallet, which was also a family heirloom.
WAGA reports Megbuluba’s attorney Steve Sadow said, "Mr. Megbuluba is not guilty of the charges lodged against him. The death of Ms. Khan was a tragic accident. We expect the evidence at trial to show that she may have been intoxicated and jumped or fell out of the vehicle on her own accord."
