Parents of ill British boy faces extradition
Print Edition
A critically-ill 5-year-old boy driven to Spain by his parents against doctors’ advice is receiving medical treatment for a brain tumor in a Spanish hospital as his parents await extradition to UK, police said yesterday.
Officers received a phone call late Saturday from a hotel east of Malaga advising that a vehicle fitting the description circulated by police was on its premises.
Both parents were arrested and the boy, Ashya King, was taken to a hospital, a Spanish police spokesman said.
The boy’s situation will depend on medical advice, the spokesman said on condition of anonymity because he is not allowed to be cited by name in the media.
Spanish National Police had published several tweets on its official account giving details of the King family and asking the public to call an emergency number with any information.
“The Kings are currently being held in custody and police have 72 hours to question them before handing them over to a judge, who will begin extradition proceedings,” said Chris Shead, of the UK’s Hampshire Constabulary.
Shead said the parents were arrested on suspicion of neglect. They were receiving advice from Britain's consular services in Spain and would likely also face questioning by British police who were due to arrive in Malaga yesterday, he added.
An international search began on Thursday for the boy, who has a severe brain tumor, after his parents took him from a hospital in Southampton in Hampshire.
