Ellesmere Port murder arrest in missing man inquiry Ellesmere Port body 'may be missing Frenchman'
(about 9 hours later)
A man has been held on suspicion of murder by police searching an Ellesmere Port house after receiving information about a man missing since 2009. Remains found by police searching a house in Ellesmere Port are believed to be those of a missing Frenchman.
The 35-year-old arrested man has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act, Cheshire Police said. Cheshire Police went to the house on Hylton Court on Tuesday after receiving information about the disappearance of Christophe Borgye, 35.
The missing man, 39, is from France but was living in the Ellesmere Port area at the time of his disappearance in May 2009, officers said. A 35-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and sectioned under the Mental Health Act earlier.
Police are still searching the address on Hylton Court. A 34-year-old man was arrested on the same charge in Scotland and has been brought to Cheshire for questioning.
The missing man's family in France have been made aware of the developments. The remains of the body were found in an outbuilding at the house and tests are underway to confirm their identity.
Det Ch Insp Simon Price said: "This inquiry is at a very early stage and we are currently working to find out if the information we have received is legitimate. Mr Borgye was living in the Ellesmere Port area at the time of his disappearance in May 2009 and was believed to have been an air steward for Ryanair at Liverpool John Lennon Airport, a police spokeswoman said.
"We appreciate that the public may be concerned about the activity in the area but I want to reassure them that there is no risk to the community, this is a contained incident and we have a team of officers working on the case." She said that following enquiries in 2009, police had been led to believe he was travelling abroad.
His family in France have been contacted and made aware of the investigation and discovery, she added.
Det Ch Insp Simon Price said: "I want to reassure the public this is a contained incident. We have arrested two men and have a team of officers working on the case.
"Formal identification is going to take some time but based on the information we have now we believe the victim is Christophe who was known to the man in custody."
