Murder case man arrested

He was arrested in Derby city centre at 11am. The 62-year-old ex-miner is wanted for questioning over the murder of his estranged wife Diane, pictured.

He is now being held at Derby's St Mary's Wharf police station.

Mr Ingram is suspected of stabbing to death his 61-year-old wife, of more than 40 years, following a bitter row over a £100,000 payout that he had been ordered to pay her by courts.

Yesterday CCTV images of Mr Ingram were released revealing he has been in Shrewsbury and Lichfield a month after the grandmother's body was found at her home in Avon Road, Cannock.

The BBC's Crimewatch programme had been expected to run a short appeal tonight. Sky News was also to show an appeal tomorrow as part of the channel's Crime Uncovered Week.

Detective Inspector Ronnie Walker, who is leading the hunt for the 62-year-old, said: "They were married for over 40 years and during that time Jim worked hard and accumulated quite a substantial amount of money.

He was reluctant to spend that money and that is known to have caused some distress between the two."

Mr Ingram is usually seen with two plastic bags and is around 5ft 7ins tall and of medium build.

He walks with a distinctive stoop and has unkempt short, greying brown hair.
