Detectives investigating the disappearance of a baby born in Barnet more than 11 years ago have arrested a man.

The 38 year-old man was arrested in Hertfordshire yesterday on suspicion of preventing a lawful burial and perverting the course justice.

A 31-year-old woman who was previously charged in connection with the investigation appeared in custody at Kingston Crown Court on July 8.

Two other people, a 50-year-old woman and a 52-year-old man, remain on bail.
