‘Body in suitcase’ arrest
A MAN was arrested on suspicion of murder yesterday after the discovery of woman’s body dumped in a suitcase on farmland.
Police are studying the last movements of the victim named as care worker Leah Questin.
She was filmed alone on a No 172 bus at the Elephant and Castle, south London, on September 12, shortly after emerging from the tube station.
Petite Ms Questin, 37, originally from the Philippines, was last seen at her home in Cricklewood, north London.
Her body was found in a dried-up pond at Cliffe, near Rochester, Kent, on Thursday.
Tests are being conducted to establish the cause of death after a post-mortem examination was inconclusive.
Police arrested the man aged 35 early yesterday in Lewisham, south London.
