A man has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of a former Oxfordshire woman whose body was found in an outbuilding at her home in April.

Peter Airey, 27, the former lodger of Carol Evans, was arrested in Wolverhampton.

The last confirmed sighting of Mr Airey had been on April 8 and a nationwide appeal for information on his whereabouts had been launched.

After his arrest he was transferred to Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, yesterday where detectives are continuing to question him.

Ms Evans, 40, originally from Didcot, moved to Peterborough in 1999. Police were alerted by her mother, Joyce Dee, on April 2 after she became concerned by the lack of contact from her daughter.

Ms Evans' body was found in an outbuilding on April 24.
