British man denies killing American wife and baby

THE British man arrested over the murder of his American wife and baby daughter told police he did not kill them but found them shot dead when he returned from an errand, according to a police affidavit yesterday.

The revelations come hours after Neil Entwistle, 27, agreed to be extradited to the US “as soon as possible” when he appeared before Bow Street Magistrates’ Court in central London yesterday morning.

Neil Entwistle said he had covered the bodies of Rachel and nine-month-old Lillian and got a knife to kill himself but could not go through with it, the document from Hopkinton police in Massachusetts revealed.
