| Alice Gross inquiry: Second murder arrest in missing girl hunt | |
| (about 1 hour later) | |
| Detectives looking for missing schoolgirl Alice Gross have arrested a second man on suspicion of murder. | |
| The 14-year-old, of Hanwell, west London, was last seen near the Grand Union Canal on 28 August. | |
| She had recently been diagnosed with anorexia, her mother said. | |
| A 51-year-old man was arrested by officers in Hanwell at 13:35 BST on Sunday. Police arrested a 25-year-old man on suspicion of murder on Saturday evening. | |
| Police divers are continuing to search the canal where Alice was last seen 10 days ago. | |
| The Brentside High School pupil left the family home at 13:00 on 28 August. She had told her family she was going to meet some friends and would be back that evening. | |
| However, police discovered CCTV footage of her walking alone along the tow path of the canal that afternoon. | |
| Recorded on CCTV | |
| She was captured on CCTV cameras at 14:23 near the Holiday Inn at Brentford Lock, heading towards Kew, and again at the same location walking towards Hanwell at 15:45. | |
| She was then recorded by CCTV at 16:23 near Trumpers Way Canal Bridge. | |
| Her purple rucksack was found on Thursday near the River Brent. | |
| Alice is described as being 5ft 2in tall, slim, with shoulder-length light brown hair. | |
| When her family last saw her, she was wearing dark blue jeans, a dark green lacy cardigan and denim Van's shoes. She may also be wearing tartan-framed spectacles. | |
| The CCTV footage, released earlier this week, showed she had taken her cardigan off and was wearing a dark grey T-shirt. | |
| Alice's mother Rosalind Hodgkiss said: "We are desperate to know that she is safe and we really want her to know that we want her home, and we are desperate for her to know how loved she is." | |
