Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.POLICE HAVE arrested a man aged 33 in connection with the murder of researcher Elizabeth Stacey, 24, whose body was discovered at the University of Westminster earlier this month.
The man, said by police to be from London, was arrested in a busy street in Brighton at around 4.15pm yesterday.
Officers from Sussex police made the arrest following a tip received as a result of a televised appeal on the BBC programme Crimewatch, which was broadcast on Tuesday.
The man, who has not been named, was waiting last night for Metropolitan Police detectives who plan to take him back to London for questioning.
The arrest follows earlier police appeals for help in tracing Miss Stacey's colleague, Steven Reid, 33. Police described Mr Reid. a psychology researcher, as "a significant witness".
