Mexican police are now looking at the possibility of a second suspect connected to the murder of Carleton Place businessman Daniel Dion.
The 51-year-old’s widow told the Ottawa Citizen authorities are investigating another person.
The initial suspect, ex-con Hector Juan Figueroa of Acapulco, was arrested over the weekend.
He allegedly confessed to Dion’s slaying.
The two were friends and Dion would even stay at Figueroa’s mother’s apartment in Acapulco.
Dion’s company hired inmates to make bags from recycled materials.
He also ran a separate venture, where he would buy Mexican lumber and re-sell it to Canadian retailers.
His family said they think his death has more to do with a lumber deal he was about to close.
They claimed Figueroa’s confession had far too many inconsistencies.
No charges have been laid.
