Dimapur (Nagaland), September 17, 2018:

Nine days since he went into hiding, Yaruingam R Shimray, a murder accused in Nagaland, was arrested by the Government Railway Police (GRP) in Guwahati on Sunday evening.

GRP sources said the accused was nabbed after a hot chase at New Guwahati. He attempted to flee on seeing the personnel zeroing on him. He is said to be a known notorious criminal.

Shimray had allegedly murdered Neiphretuo Metsei-o, an inspector of Nagaland Police, recently and fled with the police officer’s vehicle.

Metsei-o was missing since September 7 and his body was found in a forest between Lasumi and Zapami village under Pfutsero sub-division four days later. The body reportedly bore bullet marks with the limbs tied.

Earlier, the Manipur Police arrested a woman, Ringthingchon of Lunghar, from Ukhrul district in Manipur in connection with the murder.
