A man has been arrested in the UK on suspicion of encouraging or assisting the suicide of a British person in Switzerland, with police potentially investigating dozens more deaths.
Sean Davison is currently on police bail and has previously said publicly that he has helped people travel to Switzerland to take their own lives.
ITV News understands that his arrest was in relation to a 79 year-old British woman who flew to Switzerland last year, but Mr Davison has said publicly that police are now looking into 29 deaths he was allegedly involved in.
Officers arrested him last summer, with the details only now coming to light.
Mr Davison lives in Dorset, where he did not answer questions when invited to comment on his arrest by ITV News last week.Home Editor Paul Brand.
