British police have taken a man into custody during their investigation into the death of one of Britain’s richest women, Eva Rausing. Although Scotland Yard have not confirmed the name of the man in question, it is believed to be Hans Kristian Rausing, Mrs Rausing’s husband.

Mr Rausing is heir to the Tetra Pak fortune. Police have confirmed that they arrested a 49-year-old man on suspicion of drug possession in South London. The man was initially taken to a police station in the city but was then transferred to a medical facility to receive attention according to police. After a post mortem which failed to uncover the cause of Mrs Rausings death, police are currently treating it as unexplained.
