The hunt for the prime suspect in the disappearance of Alice Gross will intensify after the discovery of a body by police.
Arnis Zalkalns, a Latvian builder who was jailed in his native country after murdering his wife, was filmed on CCTV cycling along a path by the Grand Union Canal where the 14-year-old was last seen on August 28.
And police searching for Alice have now launched a murder inquiry after finding a body in the River Brent, West London.
Detectives believe Zalkalns is likely to have seen Alice, and have been working with their counterparts in his native country of Latvia to track down the labourer, who was reported missing within days of the teenager's disappearance.
The 41-year-old has not accessed his bank account or used his mobile phone since September 3, nor has he returned home to his partner and young child.
He also left behind his passport.
Forensic officers have searched his semi-detached house in Ealing, West London.
Zalkalns, who worked at a building site in Isleworth, West London, is thought to have come to the UK in 2007.
Authorities here have faced criticism for apparently holding no record of his conviction for bludgeoning and stabbing his wife Rudite to death in Latvia.
According to reports in his home country, he buried his spouse in a forest after murdering her following a dispute about her sexuality.
There have been conflicting reports as to whether he was subsequently jailed for seven or eight years.
It has also emerged Zalkalns was arrested in London on suspicion of indecent assault on a 14-year-old girl in 2009, but was never charged.
Police have admitted they they have no power to arrest him if he has managed to flee abroad.
Commander Graham McNulty said the force would need to be "charge ready" to apply for a European Arrest Warrant, and has not done so because this would stop officers being able to interview the suspect.
Police have warned he "clearly poses a risk to the public" and anyone who sees him is urged not to approach him.
He is described as white, 5'10", of stocky build and with dark brown hair that he normally wears tied in a pony tail.
