A man has been arrested in Estonia on suspicion of murdering a film producer whose body was found in a shallow grave in a garden in Kew.

A 32-year-old man was arrested in the capital city Tallinn on Wednesday lunchtime on suspicion of the murder of Laureline Garcia-Bertaux.

Scotland Yard said in a statement: "He was detained after the Metropolitan Police Service Homicide and Major Crime Command, in conjunction with the Crown Prosecution Service, issued an European Arrest Warrant (EAW).

"Met homicide detectives have been working with Eurojust in the Hague and police colleagues in Europol to trace and detain the man sought in connection with the investigation."

The suspect is currently being held at an Estonian police station as the authorities work through the relevant extradition procedures.
