Jasmine Hartin: Daughter-in-law of Tory grandee Lord Ashcroft arrested
The daughter-in-law of Conservative grandee Lord Ashcroft has been arrested after a police superintendent was shot dead in Belize.
Jasmine Hartin, the partner of Michael Ashcroft's son
Andrew, was found on a dock near where superintendent Henry Jemmott's body was
discovered in the town of San Pedro early on Friday.
Police Commissioner Chester Williams told local media that
when she was found she had "what appeared to be blood on her arms and on
her clothing".
A gun was found on the pier belonging to Mr Jemmott.
Police said the incident appeared to be "rather
personal and not an attack" and the pair were friends who had been
drinking at the time.
Investigators believe they had been alone on the pier and
were both fully clothed, Mr Williams told a news conference.
He said Hartin had been in an "emotional state walking
herself on the pier" when she was found.
