What began as a routine traffic stop has led to the arrest of an international fugitive wanted in a grisly U.S. murder and dismemberment more than a decade old.
According to Toronto police, officers pulled a man over on Aug. 7 near Finch Ave. East and McCowan Rd., in the citys northeast end. After the scent of alcohol was detected on the drivers breath, the man, who identified himself as Yu Chen, 30, was given a breathalyzer, police spokeswoman Const. Wendy Drummond said Monday.
Police then arrested Chen for driving over the legal blood-alcohol limit, and he was fingerprinted and released with a promise to appear at a future court date.
In the interim, those fingerprints were processed, said Drummond, adding that once they came back, they matched the fingerprints of 35-year-old Kai-Guo Huang, wanted in Philadelphia for the 14-year-old murder and dismemberment of Hoi Yang, 28.
On Friday, Toronto police, assisted by the Philadelphia Police Department, U.S. Marshals Service, FBI and Canada Border Service Agency, arrested Huang, who is wanted in the state of Pennsylvania for murder, conspiracy, possession of an instrument of crime and abuse of a corpse.
Huang has yet to be tried in court.
