Jo Yeates : Police update

Warrant of further detention obtained.
UPDATED: Today 16:09 Update to the Joanna Yeates murder investigation.
This afternoon, police have been to court and successfully applied for a warrant of further detention, which will enable us to continue to question the 32-year-old man we arrested yesterday (Thursday January 20) until late tomorrow evening (Saturday January 22).
There will then be four options open to us; we will either charge the individual, apply for another warrant of further detention, release the individual on bail pending further enquiries, or release him without charge.
As soon as we are in a position to release any further information, we will update the website and voicebank immediately.
You will understand that we are therefore unable to comment any further on this investigation at this time.
