Police in Virginia detain man wanted on murder warrant
CHESTERFIELD, Va. (AP) — Police say they have captured a suspect wanted on murder and other charges after a manhunt in a suburban Richmond community.
Chesterfield County Police tweeted Sunday afternoon that 44-year-old Joshua M. Federico was in custody.
The department announced Saturday that it had obtained a murder warrant for Federico after human remains believed to be those of Federico's estranged wife's boyfriend were found on a property adjacent to Federico's residence.
Police had already obtained warrants for Federico in connection with a shooting Friday that left his estranged wife with life-threatening injuries. They have said Lawrence J. Howell, the male victim, may have also been injured in that shooting.
