'Missing canoeist' probe police await return of wife

Police are tonight awaiting the return of the wife of back-from-the-dead canoeist John Darwin as they continued to question him over his disappearance five-and-a-half years ago.

Detectives have until late tomorrow to continue to quiz the 57-year-old former teacher about where he has been since he vanished from the Hartlepool area in March 2002.
