Alice Gross death: Body found is suspect Arnis Zalkalns | Alice Gross death: Body found is suspect Arnis Zalkalns |
(35 minutes later) | |
Police say a body found in a west London park is that of Arnis Zalkalns - the prime suspect in the murder of teenager Alice Gross. | |
Mr Zalkalns, a builder from Latvia, was last seen at his home in Ealing six days after 14-year-old Alice vanished. | |
The corpse of Mr Zalkalns was discovered in an area of dense woodland in Boston Manor Park, west London. | |
It was found on Saturday afternoon, about a 20 minute walk away from where Alice's body was found. | |
Alice, from Hanwell in west London, disappeared on 28 August. | |
Her body was found in the River Brent on 30 September and police said significant efforts had been made to conceal it. | |
Mr Zalkalns was filmed on CCTV cycling along the same route just minutes behind the schoolgirl on the day she disappeared. | |
He had served seven years in prison in his native country for bludgeoning and stabbing his wife Rudite to death before moving to the UK in 2007. |
