Murder Suspect Tycoon Nabbed in Woods

Ian Griffin removed cash from account of murdered lover: cops

Share

(Newser) – A British tycoon suspected of fatally beating his wealthy lover with furniture and his fists in a Paris hotel has been found camping in England, reports the Telegraph. Ian Griffin, 39, was tracked down "living rough" in Cheshire, said a police source. He had withdrawn a "large amount" of cash from his lover's account, according to cops. Griffin tried to flee by sea after Polish millionnaire Kinga Legg's battered body was found last week, but he was unable to quickly obtain a boat.
