The 60-year-old, from Bournemouth, was detained after the body of Ms Li, 44, was found inside a silver Fiat Punto, in Verwood Crescent, on Friday night. | |
Mr Legris's son, 26, also from the town, remains in custody after police secured extra time to question him. | |
Ms Li had not been seen for more than a week and her daughter Lu Yao, 18, reported her missing last Tuesday. | |
She had worked at Poole Hospital since 2009 and first came to the UK from China with Ms Yao about 10 years ago. | |
'Very difficult time' | |
Formal identification of Ms Li's body has not yet taken place and an inquest into her death is due to be opened. | |
Det Insp Marcus Hester, of the major crime investigation unit, said family liaison officers had been keeping her daughter updated. | |
"Clearly, this is a very difficult time for her as she tries to come to terms with the loss of her mother," he said. | |
Forensic investigators have been examining the Punto, and the area around where it was found, about four miles from where Ms Li lived, in Burnham Drive. | |
Det Insp Hester said officers were still appealing for anyone with information about the case to contact police. | |
"In particular we would like anyone with information about the movements of two vehicles - a silver Fiat Punto with registration plate W887 PDL and a large white Ford Transit van with registration plate Y491 GFT - between Saturday 24 May and Wednesday 28 May 2014, to contact police," he said. |
