Computers seized in raid
®
POLICE officers hunting for missing Libby Squire yesterday raided the family home of a Polish butcher.
Pawel Relowicz lives less than a mile from the spot where the 21-year-old student was last seen.
Officers seized computers from the property and also towed away his car.
They also said a 24-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of abducting Libby.
Officers searched a pond on nearby playing fields and scoured a stretch of riverbank.
Relowicz moved into the property in Hull a year ago with his wife Jagoda and their two young sons.
It is less than a mile from where University of Hull student Libby was last seen sitting on a bench eight days ago.
Forensic officers carried out fingertip searches as police removed Relowicz’s belongings including a PC and a tablet computer.
Hairdresser Iwona Reczulska, who knows the couple, said when she last saw Pawel a fortnight ago he was his “normal self” and “chatting about his kids”.
She added: “He works at a bacon factory. He’s not one to go out drinking and always tells me that he likes to spend weekends at home with the family.”
Police refused to identify the suspect they were continuing to question last night.
Det Supt Matt Hutchinson, of Humberside Police, said: “We are still treating PROBE: Police at house. Inset, Pawel Relowicz
