The suspected killer of a Democratic state lawmaker, Melissa Hortman, and her husband, Mark Hortman, has surrendered himself to the police after a two-day manhunt in the US state of Minnesota.
According to the police, the chase came to an end in a wooded rural area west of Minneapolis, where the suspec, identified as Vance Luther Boelter, surrendered peacefully and ended up crawling towards officers.
Boelter, 57, is charged with killing Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota Democrat, and her husband Mark. State Governor Tim Walz called it a “politically motivated assassination”.
He is also alleged to have shot and wounded Democratic State Senator John Hoffman, and his wife Yvette, who are both now awake in hospital.
