Hans Kristian Rausing To Be Charged With Delaying Wife's Burial
Hans Kristian Rausing, heir to the Tetra Pak fortune, will appear in court later today charged with delaying the burial of his wife Eva Rausing.
American-born Mrs Rausing was found dead in the bedroom of the couple's house in Cadogan Place, Belgravia, on 9 July.
49-year-old Hans, whose family is said to be worth more than £4bn, has been charged with preventing the lawful and decent burial of her body and will appear at West London Magistrates' Court on Wednesday afternoon
It is still unknown how Mrs Rausing died and police are treating the death as "unexplained". A post-mortem examination held last week failed to establish a formal cause of death.
Mr Rausing was stopped by police on 9 July on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
A subsequent search of the couple's home led to the discovery of Mrs Rausing's body.
