Police in Florida have arrested a second man for the murder of Premal Dagly, a student of Indian origin who was killed six weeks before graduating with a degree in accounting from the University of Florida .

According to reports reaching here, Florida Department of Law Enforcement's fugitive task force arrested Frankie Sylvestri, 22, in the early hours of March 29 after lying in wait outside an Orlando apartment complex.

Sylvestri was arrested on a tip-off from an informant.

Dagly, 21, was beaten and repeatedly stabbed in his car by two men with whom he had been at a party on March 24.

Sgt Keith Kameg of Gainesville Police Department said on telephone that with the arrest of Sylvestri and Daniel Pistorino, 20, who was nabbed a day-and-a-half after the murder, police are satisfied that they have in custody the only two suspects they were looking for.

No further arrest is expected, Kameg said.

Kameg said Pistorino and Sylvestri were at a party with Dagly at a Gainesville apartment at about 2 am on March 24
