Hans Kristian Rausing, one of the heirs to to the multibillion pound Tetra Pak packaging dynasty, has been arrested in connection with the death of his wife Eva, after her body was found at their luxurious west London home.
The Metropolitan police said a body had been found at an address in Cadogan Place, Belgravia, one of the most exclusive streets in London.
The property had been searched following the earlier arrest in south London of a 49-year-old man on suspicion of possession of drugs, a spokesman said. The man was later rearrested in connection with the death, which is being treated as “unexplained”. He is being held at a station in south London.
