Mount Pleasant ( US), March 3: A 19- year- old student suspected of killing his parents at a Central Michigan University dormitory before running from campus was apprehende­d early on Saturday following an intensive daylong search that included more than 100 police officers, some heavily armed in camouflage uniforms, authoritie­s said.

James Eric Davis Jr. was arrested without incident after an individual spotted him on a train passing through the north end of campus shortly after midnight, according to a release posted on Central Michigan’s Emergency Communicat­ion website.

CMU president George Kuala Lumpur, March 3: A Malaysian official says the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 by a US company will likely end in June, as families of passengers marked the fourth anniv- ersary of the plane’s disappeara­nce with rene- wed hope that the world’s biggest aviation mystery will be solved.

Malaysia in January inked a “no cure, no fee” deal with Houston, Texasbased Ocean Infinity to resume the hunt for the plane, a year after the official search by Malaysia, Australia and China in the southern E. Ross thanked the campus, surroundin­g community and law enforcemen­t personnel “who came together to keep each other safe and apprehend the suspect,” according to the university police website.

Friday’s shooting at Campbell Hall happened on a day when parents were arriving to pick up students for the beginning of a week- long spring break. The university identified the two dead as Davis’ mother Diva Davis and father James Davis Sr., a parttime police officer in the Chicago suburb of Bellwood. The shooting took place at around 8.30 am at a residence hall at Central Michigan. Indian Ocean was called off. The plane vanished March 8, 2014, while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.

Malaysia’s civil aviation chief, Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, on Saturday said that the search is going smoothly and is expected to end by mid- June.
