Estrella Carrera (†26) was found dead in her bathtub shortly after her wedding in May 2012 - she was still wearing her wedding dress.

As the New York Post reports, an arrest warrant was issued for her husband Arnoldo Jimenez (42) shortly afterwards. A few days after the wedding, he was charged with premeditated murder and additional unlawful flight.

Now the criminal was arrested last Thursday in the Mexican city of Monterrey, and the extradition process to the USA has already begun.

"The FBI will use all available resources to bring criminals to justice, no matter how much time has passed or where they are in the world," it said in an official statement.

Jimenez was the 522nd person to be named to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list since it was created.
