1995 Roxbury murder suspect arrested in Belize

Boston Police report the arrest of a Mattapan man for the May 29, 1995 stabbing death of Zandera Sullivan in Roxbury.

Police say Patrick Brown, a.k.a. Derrick Mollay, 36, fled not long after he murdered Sullivan, 21 and a Jamaica Plain resident, at 236 Seaver St. Brown allegedly went into a rage when he learned Sullivan was dating his ex-girlfriend.

Police did not say what led them to Belize, but News 5 in Belize reports somebody dropped a dime on him and he was arrested last week in Punta Gorda.

Boston Police say arresting Brown involved cooperation between the Boston Police fugitive and cold-case units, the Suffolk County DA's office, federal officials and local police in Belize.

Brown is being shipped back to Boston and is expected to face American justice at an arraignment in Suffolk Superior Court tomorrow.

Brown had been featured on "America's Most Wanted" twice and, ironically, host Adam Walsh and a video crew were in Belize when Brown was captured - working on a story about another American fugitive. The show is taking credit for Brown's arrest, saying one of its viewers in Belize recognized him and called police.

State Senate candidate would seek to end LNG shipments through Boston Harbor

BigCoast Guard escorting an LNG tanker last summer.

Dan Hill, who lives near Boston Harbor and is running for state senate in a district that includes Chelsea and Everett, says the state should do everything it can to try to keep LNG tankers out of Boston Harbor - especially Yemeni ones - and phase out the Distrigas natural-gas terminal in Everett in favor of a new facility in Naragansett Bay:

Hill noted that for new LNG ports the Coast Guard requires "security zones" restricting movement within 1,000 yards on either side of an LNG tanker, a standard that could not possibly be met in Boston Harbor. "I find it disturbing that safety requirements for new facilities apparently do not need to be met for existing facilities."
