Authorities have arrested a man in Canada in the 2001 killing of a police informant in Arizona.

Konstantin Simberg, 21, was beaten, stabbed and set on fire before he died in December 2001. His body was found in a Northern Arizona creek by hunters.

Two men were arrested, charged and convicted in the killing. But Mikhail Drachev, 24, has lived as a fugitive on a murder warrant for more than five years, Phoenix police Det. Stacie Derge said.
