Panamanian authorities have arrested a teenager for allegedly killing a Columbia University graduate earlier this year, according to reports out of Central America on Tuesday.

The 17-year-old suspect was linked to the death of Westchester County native Catherine Johannet, 23, through DNA, officials told Telemetro.

Johannet’s swimsuit was torn off before she was strangled with it on Bastimentos Island on Feb. 5.

Johannet graduated in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in comparative literature.
