Santo Domingo.- The Dominican fugitive, Franyelis María Furcal Rodríguez, who had been on the run since April 2022 after killing a Chinese citizen at her workplace, has been arrested in Spain, as reported by the National Police on Thursday.

Franyelis was wanted by Dominican authorities for causing the death of Chen Zongxin using a knife. The incident occurred at the Z&C Hardware Store in the Luperón expansion, National District, during a brawl between Franyelis and her boss, Chen Zongxin, who was the foreigner’s employer.
