A French fugitive suspected of murdering his entire family has reportedly been arrested at Glasgow Airport .
Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès is believed to have travelled under a false identity in a bid to gain entry to Scotland this afternoon, French media reports.
The 58-year-old was allegedly travelling from Charles De Gaulle Airport with a fake passport but his fingerprint is believed to have revealed his true identity at passport control.
The French International is accused of killing his wife Agnes and their children Arthur, 21, Thomas, 18, Anne, 16, and Benoît, 13, in April 2011.
The family were found buried in the garden of their home and the father, Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès, was nowhere to be seen and is considered the main suspect in the case.
He has been missing since.
The high profile case, also known as the "killing of Nantes", has been in the news for many years.
Police Scotland confirmed they were aware of the incident.

"Inquiries are ongoing to confirm his identity and we continue to liaise with our colleagues in the relevant agencies."
