Mexican state police say they have made an arrest in the case of a Canadian businessman found dead in his burned out rental car last month.
The chief prosecutor in the state of Guerrero told the Mexican national news agency that a friend of Daniel Dion is now in custody in connection with the murder.
The 51-year-old from Carleton Place, travelled frequently to Mexico to oversee a handbag business that used prisoners as its main workforce.
The prosecutor’s office says 46-year-old Hector Juan Figueroa told police that he was a friend of Dion’s and let the Canadian stay at his mother’s apartment in Acapulco.
Figueroa said he only acted in self defence.
