Tetra Pak heir Hans Kristian Rausing has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of his wife Eva Rausing, an inquest heard today.
Police are still waiting to question the 49-year-old after interviews were suspended on Tuesday so he could be treated for alcohol withdrawal.
The mother-of-four's body was discovered after her husband, Tetra Pak heir Hans Kristian Rausing, 49, was stopped by police officers in Wandsworth, south London, after being spotted driving erratically.
Mr Rausing, whose family is worth an estimated £4.5 billion and were ranked as Britain's 12th richest in last year's Sunday Times Rich List, is being represented 7/7 barrister Neil Saunders QC.
A post-mortem has been carried out by Home Office pathologist Nat Carey, in the presence of defence pathologist Simon Poole, but no obvious cause of death has been found.
Further tests including toxicology are pending. » | Friday, July 13, 2012
