TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – A man wanted in connection with a triple homicide in northern Quebec has been captured in Florida.

Justin Bresaw, 35, was the subject of a Canada-wide arrest warrant and a search by Interpol.

He was arrested on Saturday night in Tallahassee, Fla.

Bresaw is facing three charges of first-degree murder after a house fire last month in Amos, Que., about 500 kilometres north of Montreal.

Two men and a woman were found dead in the home.

Quebec provincial police say the extradition process is underway to bring him back to Canada.

In late September, a stolen car allegedly driven by Bresaw was found in southwest Quebec near the United States border.
