Wayland Patch 11/1/11: Prosecution Obtains DNA Sample from Wayland Murder Suspect. Prosecutor Lisa McGovern's request Nov. 1 for a buccal (cheek) swab of Nathaniel Fujita went uncontested by the teenager's defense team during a hearing Tuesday at Middlesex County Superior Court in Woburn. Fujita is facing charges that he murdered his ex-girlfriend Lauren Astley and dumped her body in a Wayland swamp on July 3. Fujita was arrested on July 5, the day after her body was discovered by a passing bicyclist. A Middlesex County Grand Jury on Aug. 4 indicted Fujita on charges of first-degree murder, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and assault and battery.
