Detectives investigating last month's Kent plane crash in which five people died have arrested a man on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.

The 34-year-old, from Sussex, has been released on police bail until May 29, pending further inquiries. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the arrest was in relation to "matters not connected" with the actual crash.

The Cessna Citation jet nose-dived into a detached house in Romsey Close, Farnborough, shortly after taking off from Biggin Hill airport on Sunday, March 30. It exploded in flames, killing the pilot, co-pilot and three passengers.

Homeowners Pat and Ed Harman were away on holiday and no-one was in the house.

The crash is being investigated by police and the Department of Transport's Air Accidents Investigations Branch.
