A Canadian man is being detained in Mexico for the suspected homicide of a 23-year-old woman at a resort south of Cancun.
The woman has been identified by family members as Kiara Agnew from Dawson Creek, B.C.
Her family says on a GoFundMe page that Agnew went on what was supposed to be a 鈥渄ream birthday vacation鈥� to Mexico with her boyfriend, but that 鈥渢urned into a nightmare鈥� when relatives were notified of her death on Friday.
Agnew鈥檚 mother, Michele Levesque, later posted to Facebook that her daughter鈥檚 body will be returned to Dawson Creek.
SSP Solidaridad said in a statement in Spanish that police from the Secretariat of Public Security took a man into custody after 鈥渁 lifeless woman was found with possible marks of violence in a hotel located in the Xcalacoco neighbourhood.鈥�
Mexican prosecutors have confirmed the woman was found dead Friday, adding he is in custody and possible charges are being considered.
