The knife found where Silicon Valley executive Bob Lee was stabbed to death in San Francisco tested positive for suspected killer Nima Momeni’s DNA and appears to have been taken from his sister’s unique kitchen cutlery set, a prosecutor said.
Momeni, who pleaded not guilty to murder Thursday, is accused of killing Lee, 43, on a dark downtown street early in the morning of April 4. A judge denied his request for bail, finding that Momeni poses a danger to the public if released ahead of trial.
Traces of Momeni’s DNA were found on the handle of the knife and blood on the blade matched Lee’s DNA, Assistant District Attorney Omid Talai told San Francisco Superior Court Judge Victor Hwang during a hearing.
