MONTREAL – A man has been arrested in connection with a 17-year-old murder case in Montreal.
Dieuseul Jean was nabbed in New Jersey after digital fingerprints allegedly confirmed his identity.

He is wanted in connection with the killing of his spouse, 42-year-old Juthlande Pierre, who disappeared from a party on Christmas Day 1995.
