Chinese national Nai Yin Xue wanted for allegedly murdering his wife in New Zealand has been apprehended in the United States. Authorities say Nai Yin Xue was arrested Thursday in Atlanta, Georgia. Xue is accused of murdering his wife, An'an Liu, last September in New Zealand, then abandoning the three-year-old daughter at a train station in Melbourne, Australia, before fleeing to the U.S.
Federal law enforcement agents posted his picture on billboards and a popular television show devoted to capturing fugitives. Authorities say Xue was recognized by a group of Chinese nationals in Atlanta, who physically restrained him until police arrived. He initially gave a false name, but police found his wallet with his New Zealand driver's license.
Xue will be extradited to New Zealand to face the murder charge. His daughter is living in China with relatives.
