Police in Lanzhou, capital of Gansu province, captured a man Thursday who committed a murder 10 years ago.

The man surnamed Sun, 28, and two friends, killed a man during a quarrel in 1999 and then he fled. Police caught Sun's two friends, surnamed Zhang and Cheng, but had no clue of the main culprit's whereabouts.

Early this year, police learned that Sun's mother went to Yichun, the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, and suspected Sun was hiding there.

They informed Lanzhou police who caught Sun in his house in the southern city where he was running his own business and was preparing for a wedding.
