Brazil's police arrest bus hijacker in Rio
Brazilian police on Friday arrested the suspect who hijacked a bus full of passengers in Rio de Janeiro earlier of the day and threatened to kill his ex-wife.

Andre Luiz Ribeiro da Silva, a salesman, surrendered to police 10 hours after taking hostage his ex-wife, Cristina Ribeiro, 36, and eight passengers on a bus he hijacked at around 8 a.m.

During the protracted negotiation, police managed to secure the release of more than 20 other hostages.

Silva faces charges of false imprisonment and coercion.

It was a happy ending as the lives of the hostages were saved and no one got hurt, said State Police Commander Hudson de Aguiar Miranda.

Silva and Ribeiro had been married for 10 years, and have three children. The couple divorced months ago as the salesman accused his wife of adultery.
