A 20-year-old Maldivian man wanted over a fatal stabbing in Malé gave himself up to the authorities by walking into the Maldivian embassy in Colombo, Sri Lanka on Saturday.
Mohamed Humaid told officials that Interpol had issued a red notice for him over the killing of 23-year-old Ahmed Jailam Shakir in February last year.
He was brought to Malé on the same day and taken to a remand centre, a police spokesman said.
Humaid has spent more than a year on the run. The Interpol notice was issued in July last year.
