A man suspected of murdering a woman in a Cardiff hotel room in Wales has been arrested by police in Tanzania. Sammy Almahri, 44, from New York, has been wanted since the discovery of 28-year-old Nadine Aburas's body at the Future Inn, Cardiff Bay, on New Year's Eve.
South Wales police confirmed Almahri had been detained following an international manhunt. Det Supt Paul Hurley said: "Almahri fled to Tanzania and we have worked closely with the local police authorities to trace and arrest him.
"This has been a fast-moving and complex investigation involving law enforcement agencies from three continents and we are particularly grateful for the professional cooperation we have received from the Tanzanian police.
"Officers from South Wales police major crime unit were sent to Tanzania to work with local police officers and were able to trace Almahri's movements over hundreds of kilometres across the country."
