Swiss businessman killed in Dominican Republic

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) -- Authorities in the Dominican Republic say a Swiss businessman who imported wines into the Caribbean country has been found dead from a gunshot wound in a leg.

A police statement Saturday says officers found 61-year-old Stahli Roland Eugen at his home on a farm near the eastern city of El Seibo.

They say he had just returned from a trip to New York and someone broke into the house through the bathroom window.

Police say they do not have a motive but are questioning 10 people about the killing.
