    SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — A police spokesman in the Dominican Republic says a 15-year-old girl has been arrested in the slaying of a Canadian man living in the Caribbean country.
     
    Nelson Rosario says the girl is in custody and will be prosecuted as a juvenile.
     
    Rosario said Tuesday that the girl has admitted fatally stabbing 81-year-old John Verne Ward at his home in the coastal town of La Romana on Aug. 24. He says she told authorities that she was in a relationship with Ward and that she stabbed him after they got into a fight when he tried to prevent her from leaving.
     
    Ward's hometown in Canada was not available. The girl's name was not released because of her age.
