A man has been arrested
on suspicion of murder as police continue to look into the disappearance of
author Helen Bailey.
Press
Association report continues:
The
51-year-old children's novelist has been missing for three months.
She
was last seen on April 11, several weeks after the fifth anniversary of the
death of her husband, John Sinfield, who drowned after being caught in a rip
tide in Barbados during the couple's holiday in February 2011.
A
55-year-old man from Royston was arrested on Monday morning and is being
questioned on suspicion of murder, disposing of a body in a manner likely to
obstruct the coroner and suspicion of theft of money belonging Mrs Bailey,
Hertfordshire Police said.
The
force said: " Significant inquiries and searches have already been made as
part of the investigation to trace Helen and further searches at her home
address in Royston and an address in Broadstairs in Kent are taking place
today."
The
last sighting of Mrs Bailey, who wrote the Electra Brown novels, was at about
2.45pm on Monday April 11 near her home in Royston, where she was seen walking
her dog.
In April, extensive searches were carried out at Mrs Bailey's holiday home in Broadstairs, Kent, where friends originally said they believed the author might have gone in order to have ''some time to herself''.
