Missing make-up artist’s partner detained

POLICE in England have been granted more time to question the husband of an award-winning TV make- up artist being held on suspicion of her murder, it was announced last night.

A custody extension granted by a court means police are able to quiz Diane Chenery-Wickens’ husband, David, for another 36 hours, until about 3am tomorrow.

Ms Chenery-Wickens, 48, who has worked on shows including The League of Gentlemen and Casualty, has not been seen or heard from since January 31, when she travelled with her husband by train from East Grinstead, West Sussex, to London for a business meeting at the BBC.
