DETECTIVES were due today to seek more time to question a man arrested in connection with the body in a suitcase found near York.
The 30-year-old man, who has not been named, was arrested in Soho on Thursday night.
The Metropolitan Police are questioning the man at a North London police station. They are investigating the death of 21-year-old Korean woman Hyo Jung Jin, whose partially clothed and decomposed body was discovered in a suitcase near Askham Richard last November.
Detectives have revealed she suffocated. Police were to apply for a custody extension allowing them to question the man until 8.30pm tomorrow.
