Man held in connection with Thanksgiving killings in US

A man accused of killing four relatives at a Thanksgiving holiday dinner was captured at a motel in the Florida Keys where police said he had eluded authorities for about a month by checking in under a fake name and address, and hiding his car with a cover.

Paul Merhige, 35, was arrested without a struggle last night after the TV show “America’s Most Wanted” aired and provided the tip that led to Merhige’s capture on Long Key, Jupiter Police Sgt Scott Pascarella said.
