Overview

  • Interpol Panamá detained Wenbin Su, a fugitive wanted in Spain for a 2009 double homicide, at Tocumen International Airport in Panama.
  • Su was traveling in transit from Paris via China when Panamanian authorities acted on an Interpol Red Notice issued by Spain.
  • The murders of Kun Yon and Guang Qu, two Chinese women, occurred in a Pontevedra apartment, with both victims showing signs of violent asphyxiation.
  • Su fled to China shortly after the crime, and Spain's extradition request was denied, prolonging his evasion for 16 years.
  • This arrest marks a significant breakthrough in resolving the case, with extradition proceedings now initiated to return Su to Spain for trial.
