RALEIGH, N.C. — A Marine wanted in the brutal slaying of a pregnant colleague who had accused him of rape was arrested in Mexico, the FBI said late Thursday.

The FBI’s office in Charlotte said special agents and Mexican authorities had arrested Marine Cpl. Cesar Laurean, who is charged with murder in the death of Marine Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach. The FBI did not say when or where in Mexico Laurean was arrested but said he is awaiting extradition to the United States.

Onslow County District Attorney Dewey Hudson said that “it could be a year or two” before authorities can bring the personnel clerk back to North Carolina if he decides to fight the extradition process.
