Wayland Patch 4/24/12: Computer, Phone Records Part of Discovery Hearing in Murder Case. The case of the Commonwealth v Nathaniel Fujita took another step forward Tuesday as the prosecution and defense reach agreement on a number of motions related to evidence in the case. Fujita is accused of killing his ex-girlfriend, 18-year-old Lauren Astley, on July 3, 2011, and dumping her body in a Wayland marsh near the Sudbury town line. A passing bicyclist spotted Astley’s body on July 4, and Wayland Police arrested Fujita the following day. 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. During a discovery hearing on Tuesday at Middlesex County Superior Court in Woburn, prosecutor Lisa McGovern and Fujita’s attorney William Sullivan discussed multiple motions that outline the evidence each party must share with the other.
