He is currently in police custody in Northern Ireland, however he is to return to England to be questioned by Essex Police.

"I am very grateful to officers from the PSNI for their assistance this morning. We will continue to work closely with all of our policing colleagues as we pursue our investigation to bring those responsible for this crime to justice."
