London: A man has been arrested in Belgium in connection with the murders of missing Indian millionaire businessman Amarjit Chohan and four of his family members, British police said on August 4.

54-year-old Kenneth Regan also known as Kenneth Avery, had been apprehended on August 2 and was being held while authorities seek to extradite him to the UK, a spokesman of the metropolitan police said.

Last week Peter Rees, 38, of King's Close, Rowlands Castle, Hampshire, was charged with the murders of 46-year-old Chohan and his 25-year-old wife, Nancy.

Chohan, the boss of a trucking company with an annual turnover of 4 million Pounds, vanished in mid- February from his London home with his wife, their sons, Devinder, 19 months, and Ravinder, four months and Mrs Chohan's mother, Charanjit Kaur, 51.

Chohan's body was discovered washed up near Bournemouth Pier in Dorset by a canoeist on April 22.

The body of Nancy was also found in the sea off Dorset.

Their two sons and Charanjit Kaur are still missing.
