A British man wanted in connection with the death of a Colombian model and influencer has been arrested in Ecuador after investigators said his claimed alibi did not match the timeline of the alleged killing.
Matthew Ashley Foster-Smith, 46, from Poole, Dorset, was detained at Quito International Airport following a joint operation involving authorities in Ecuador, Colombia, Interpol and Dorset Police. Colombian prosecutors allege he was responsible for the death of 36-year-old Natalia Villalba, whose body was discovered inside a suitcase at an apartment in Bogotá on 22 June. Villalba worked as a model and social media influencer in Bogotá.
