Murder suspect turned over to Schaumburg police
A suspect wanted for a decade in the death of a Hanover Park man is in custody after being extradited from Mexico.
The body of 28-year-old Flavio Venancio was found May 25, 2001, in a pond near the Schaumburg train station. Authorities say he drowned after being beaten and stabbed.
A warrant for the arrest of Jose Camacho of Hanover Park was issued five days later by Schaumburg police, who say they believe he killed Venancio during an alcohol-fueled argument.
According to Schaumburg police, the FBI, the U.S. State Department and officials in Mexico worked together to apprehend the now 43-year-old Camacho.
Camacho was turned over to the Schaumburg police Thursday. A Friday bond hearing is scheduled in the Rolling Meadows branch of the Cook County circuit court.
