SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Authorities have arrested an escaped murderer who passed through Whatcom County last year.
42-year-old Roderick Muchikekwanape was wanted after he escaped from a Canadian prison in October 2020 where he was serving a life sentence for sexual assault and murder that occurred in Winnipeg in 1998.
The U.S. Marshals Service says multiple anonymous tips led law enforcement to a hospital in San Diego where he was taken into custody Friday.
