Antinarcotics agents nab man wanted for murder in Puerto Rico

Santo Domingo.- A man identified as Francisco Antonio Cedeño, charged with murder in Puerto Rico, was arrested Tuesday by Antinarcotics (DNCD) agents.

The detainee, who faces three counts of first-degree murder and other charges, is wanted in the December 2008 death of a person in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the DNCD said in a statement.

DNCD spokesman Roberto Lebron said once Dominican authorities received the extradition request, the Justice Ministry requested the arrest warrant from high court, issued on March 6.
