Tia Sharp’s grandmother’s partner has returned home after helping police with their enquiries.

Stuart Hazell, 37, was not under arrest and was not handcuffed, when he was led away by officers to a south London police station earlier this afternoon.

The 37-year-old, who is the partner of Tia’s grandmother Christine Sharp, was interviewed as a witness.

Mr Hazell was one of the last people to see Tia before she went missing.
