UK authorities investigating the death of Argentine footballer, Emiliano Sala, have arrested a man "on suspicion of manslaughter by an unlawful act."
Sala, 28, and pilot David Ibbotson, 59, were killed in a plane crash over the English Channel in January.
The striker had recently signed with English Premier League club Cardiff City from French side, Nantes, and was heading to the Welsh city in a single-turbine aircraft after saying farewell to his former teammates when the accident occurred.
Sala's
body was identified
by UK police on February 6 after
being retrieved from the submerged wreckage. It was brought to Portland Port in
Dorset the following day where local detectives launched a probe into the
circumstances of the death.
Detective
Inspector Simon Huxter of Dorset Police's Major Crime Investigation Team said a
64-year-old man from North Yorkshire was arrested Wednesday but later released
as the probe continues.
"He
is assisting with our enquiries and has been released from custody under
investigation," Huxter said according to the statement from Dorset Police.
The
statement added that the families of both men have been updated of latest
developments in the case.
