A 70-year-old man in Youyang county, Chongqing municipality, was arrested 26 years after he robbed and killed his boss.

The suspect, then 44, went to Yunnan province to work with his son-in-law in 1983 in a brick factory in Simao.

One day in February 1983, the factory's boss took both of them to a bank to withdraw 240 yuan ($35 now). They killed the boss and took the money and escaped.

In 1984, the son-in-law was arrested and was sentenced to death. On Monday, the man was caught.
