Virginia Beach, Va. - The case against Jamiel Graves is moving forward to the grand jury in Virginia Beach.

He's accused of strangling the mother of his two children, Mandi Meyers.

Today in court, a detective testified about what Graves told police.

Graves is charged with murdering his ex-girlfriend, Mandi Myers, in November of last year.

Myers’ sister found her body in a closet.

He's scheduled to be back in court in Norfolk at the end of next month.
