Tycoon Ian Griffin arrested over Paris hotel murder

The businessman wanted in connection with the death of his girlfriend in a Paris hotel was arrested in woods in Cheshire yesterday.

Ian Griffin, 39, had been living rough in a tent in woodland at Chelford, near Macclesfield, and was detained by officers acting on a tip-off from the public. Police had been looking for him for a week after the battered body of Kinga Legg, 36, was found in a room at the Hotel Bristol in Paris.

A spokesman for Cheshire Police said: “We have arrested a 39-year-old man in connection with the French murder investigation. He was arrested in woodland at Chelford, Macclesfield, at around 3.30pm. At this stage it would appear this man has been living rough in a tent.”
