A Salvadoran immigrant (illegal alien) facing charges in the slaying of Washington intern Chandra Levy has been moved from a federal prison in California, officials said yesterday.

Ingmar Guandique, 27, was transferred Thursday from the Adelanto prison where he was serving a 10-year sentence for an assault conviction, Federal Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Felicia Ponce said. He was taken to the bureau's federal transfer center in Oklahoma City.

District of Columbia police issued an arrest warrant March 3 for Guandique, accusing him of sexually assaulting and killing Levy on a trail in Rock Creek Park in May 2001. Guandique faces a first-degree murder charge in the death of the Modesto native. Authorities have said Guandique was expected to be brought to Washington within 30 to 60 days of the arrest warrant.
