French police say a man has been mistakenly arrested in Glasgow on suspicion that he was a French fugitive accused of killing his wife and four children eight years ago.

A French police spokesman said that French and Scottish investigators determined that the fingerprints of the man detained in Glasgow on Friday do not match those of missing suspect Xavier Dupont de Ligonnes.
