| Police arrest second man in hunt for missing schoolgirl Alice Gross | |
| (about 2 hours later) | |
| Police investigating the disappearance of schoolgirl Alice Gross have arrested a second man, as detectives widen their search. | |
| Specialist divers scoured the Grand Union canal near her west London home on Sunday, where the 14-year-old was last spotted 11 days ago, while sniffer dogs scanned the towpath. | |
| A 55-year-old man was arrested on Sunday on suspicion of murdering the teenager, following the arrest of a 25-year-old man on Saturday evening. | |
| The Metropolitan police insisted the case was still a missing person investigation and said all lines of enquiry were still open. A spokesman confirmed that officers had broadened the area they are searching, but refused to discuss the new locations of the hunt. | |
| Police added that they were "especially concerned" because Alice, who suffers from anorexia, has not been in good health recently. | |
| Alice left her home in Hanwell on 28 August and told her family she would be back that evening, but failed to return. She was captured on CCTV that afternoon walking along the canal's towpath in the direction of Kew, and later retuning in the direction of Hanwell. | Alice left her home in Hanwell on 28 August and told her family she would be back that evening, but failed to return.
