COPS were last night waiting to interview billionaire junkie Hans Kristian Rausing after arresting him on suspicion of murdering his wife Eva.
The 49-year-old Tetra Pak heir has been unfit to speak to police since being taken to a secure hospital on Tuesday with drug and alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
At yesterday’s opening of an inquest into the death of mother-of-four Eva, 48, Detective Inspector Sharon Marman said: “Mr Rausing has been arrested on suspicion of her murder and we await notification of when he will be fit to be interviewed.â€
Eva’s decomposing body was discovered by officers in a bedroom at their £50million mansion in London’s Belgravia on Monday after Rausing was initially arrested for suspected drugs offences.
Pathologists have been unable so far to find a cause of death, suggesting she had been dead for some time. Barrister Neil Saunders QC, who acted for victims at the 7/7 bombings inquest, will represent Swedish-born Rausing, Westminster Coroner’s Court heard.
