A suspect in the murders of a Fetcham couple has been arrested tonight in nearby Oxshott.

Viktoras Bruzas, from Walton, was sought urgently by Surrey Police after a couple in their 50s, believed to be Patrick and Gillian Kettyle, were found stabbed to death at a house in The Copse this morning.

Mr Brusaz, 38, was stopped in his car by police near Steels Lane at about 6pm this evening.

He was arrested on suspicion of murder and is currently in police custody.

Armed police flooded the area to make the arrest and the police helicopter was drafted in, according to Twitter users.

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Preston, from the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, said: “This is a tragic incident which has shaken the close community in Fetcham.

"I hope the arrest this evening goes some way to reassure the public that we have been relentless in our efforts during this fast-moving and ongoing investigation."

  • Another man in his 30s who was arrested earlier today at a home in Walton was released on police bail while the investigation continues.
