NEW YORK (AP) - A tip from a New York detective investigating the 1990 killing of a Bronx widow has led to the arrest of a man in Montenegro who is a suspect in similar slayings in Europe, officials said Thursday.
The suspect, identified in Montenegro as Smail Tulja, 67, was arrested in his home in the tiny Balkan country's capital, Podgorica, on an FBI warrant, officials said. An FBI affidavit filed in the United States identified the suspect as Smajo Djurlric; the New York Police Department said his name was Smajo Dzurlic.
U.S. officials said Tulja was wanted in the unsolved beating and dismemberment death of Mary Beal, 61, and may be involved in up to seven other killings of women in Belgium and Albania.
