Police say an American man suspected of killing a family of four in the Czech Republic has been arrested in the United States.

Brno regional police chief Leos Trzil said Friday that Kevin Dahlgren was arrested at the airport in Washington, DC.

The suspect fled to the US after the victims identified by neighbors as a married couple and their two sons were found by firefighters who came tackle a fire in a house in Brno, the country's second-largest city.

Police said Czech authorities will seek Dahlgren's extradition to stand trial in the Czech Republic.
