Chinese woman arrested for hired killing in homeland

Police in Prague have arrested a 41-year-old Chinese woman sought for ordering the murder of the wife of a well-known journalist. The court will now decide whether to keep the woman in detention and whether she will be extradited to China, where she faces life imprisonment. According to the Czech police spokeswoman, the suspect had a long-term relationship with the man in question before leaving for five years to the Czech Republic. After allegedly making a promise to wait for her, the journalist married another woman, who was murdered in January. The suspect’s involvement was apparently discovered when the murderers themselves were arrested and confessed.
