Police catch suspected killer of Minnesota lawmaker

Law enforcement in Minnesota have caught the suspected killer of a Democratic state lawmaker and her husband, US media reports late Sunday, ending a nearly two-day manhunt.

The suspect, 57-year-old Vance Boelter, was captured alive in a rural area where a large contingent of local, state and federal agents had been searching throughout the day, the New York Times and CBS News report, citing unnamed officials.

The state’s governor was expected to give a press briefing at 11:30 p.m. (0330 GMT Monday).
