Runaway teacher to return to UK

Runaway teacher Jeremy Forrest will return to the UK after a French court agreed to his extradition.

Forrest, 30, appeared before magistrates in Bordeaux today, four days after he was arrested on suspicion of child abduction.

The married maths teacher from Ringmer, East Sussex, travelled to France with 15-year-old pupil Megan Stammers on September 20.

A European arrest warrant was issued after the pair failed to use return ferry tickets three days later.

Forrest, who appeared wearing a T-shirt, checked shirt and trousers, confirmed his name and nationality before agreeing to return to the UK on Thursday morning.
