Emiliano Sala: York man arrested on suspicion of manslaughter
Reports say David Henderson, 64, helping police investigating footballer’s death in plane crash
A British pilot has been arrested over the death of the Cardiff City footballer Emiliano Sala.
David Henderson, 64, from York, was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by an unlawful act, according to reports. He is understood to have arranged for a fellow pilot to take Sala on a return trip from France.
Sala died in a plane crash in January. He disappeared with David Ibbotson, the pilot of the Piper Malibu aircraft, after it crashed in waters north of Guernsey on 21 January.
Sala’s body was brought to Portland Port in Dorset on 7 February after a private search. Ibbotson, 59, of Crowle, Lincolnshire, is still missing.
Henderson is a private pilot who worked regularly for Willie McKay, an agent linked to Sala’s transfer to Cardiff from FC Nantes.
