A US man accused of killing his live-in girlfriend and posting photos of her body online has surrendered to police.

Kitsap County Sheriff's Deputy Scott Wilson said 33-year-old David Kalac arrived at the county jail in Port Orchard, in Washington State, on Thursday afternoon

Kalac was arrested on Wednesday night nearly (320km) from the crime scene after a daylong manhunt. He was held overnight in Portland, Oregon, on a second-degree murder charge.

Authorities allege Kalac killed 30-year-old Amber Lynn Coplin earlier this week after an argument in their apartment.

Wilson says the man then posted graphic photographs of her body and commented about the killing online.
