(11/06/06) AMITYVILLE - Police arrested a man in the Dominican Republic Monday in connection with the Friday the 13th murder of an Amityville woman in her shower.
Wendy Reyes was found shot 10 times in her shower in the apartment she shared with her 13-year-old daughter and a roommate. Police say Reyes' ex-boyfriend, Ymbert Santos, killed the 31-year-old mother as she got ready for work because she broke off the relationship.
Police arrested Santos in a Dominican Republic hotel room. They say he confessed shortly thereafter. According to police, Santos fled the country before Reyes' body was discovered.
