A suspected murderer, on the run for 15 years, was arrested on Monday, years after he visited relatives and bragged that he committed a homicide in Wuhan, Hubei province.

The suspect was on the police wanted list for the 1994 crime.

He returned to Wuhan two years ago because he missed his family members. He became relaxed recently and started boasting to friends and relatives.

He was detained when one of his friends told police.
