A man has been arrested in Estonia after a fashion blogger was found buried in a shallow grave in the garden of her suburban home.
The 32-year-old man was arrested in Tallinn at 12.25pm today on suspicion of the murder of Laureline Garcia-Bertaux.
Met Police detectives have been working with Eurojust in the Hague and officers in Europol to hunt down the man sought in connection with their investigation.
Ms Garcia-Bertaux was reported missing by her employer Golin PR agency last Monday after failing to arrive for work.
Her body was found two days later behind the £500,000 Victorian terrace in a leafy street in Kew, west London.
The 34-year-old French national had moved to the UK a decade ago to study at Central St Martins College, and lived alone in the rented garden flat in Darrell Road with her dogs.
Detectives were understood to be investigating her love life after friends said she was active on dating apps including Tinder.
The man was arrested on Wednesday after the Met Police issued an European Arrest Warrant.
He is being held in an Estonian Police Station prior to extradition proceedings.
