ATLANTA (CNN) — A man who was arrested in suburban Atlanta after a months-long, three-nation manhunt will be deported from the United States and returned to New Zealand to face murder charges in the death of his wife, authorities told CNN Friday. Nai Yin Xue, believed to be in his early 50s, was arrested in Chamblee, Ga., on Thursday after residents of an apartment complex recognized him from a Chinese-language newspaper, called police and detained him until officers arrived, police said. He is accused of killing his wife, Anan Liu, 27, and stuffing her body in the trunk of a car outside the couple’s Auckland, New Zealand, home last September. Days later, authorities said, he abandoned the couple’s 3-year-old daughter at a Melbourne, Australia, train station. The child became known internationally as “Pumpkin” because of a label in the sweater she was wearing. Authorities attempting to contact her parents discovered her mother’s body. |
