NOTTINGHAM, England ? Police here issued a statement shortly after noon Boston time saying local native Neil Entwistle is not being eyed as the potential killer of his wife Rachel Entwistle and the couple?s 9-month-old daughter.
The two were found shot to death Sunday in the family?s rented Hopkinton home. Massachusetts authorities said Neil Entwistle left for England at about the time of the killings but have called him only a ?person of interest.?
?Neil Entwistle is not a suspect. He is being treated by the U.S. Authorities as a potential witness,?? a Nottingham Police spokesman reading the statement said.
?There are not extradition proceedings in relation to him,?? it continues. ?On that basis, the police in England and Wales have no legal powers to take executive action.?
Police refused to say where Entwistle or his family may be staying.
Meanwhile, an array of satellite trucks is surrounding Entwistle?s parents home on a quiet street in a village about two hours by train from London.
Neil Entwistle grew up here before studying in York, where he met Carver, Mass.-native Rachel Entwistle. They recently moved to the United States.
Four Massachusetts State Police detectives are in England working the case.
