Elsie Frost's family reacts to arrest

A man in his 70s has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of a schoolgirl more than 50 years ago.

Police say a 78-year-old man was held in Berkshire. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ understands his name is Peter Pickering.

Elsie's brother Colin told the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ that he is pleased that the family "have been taken seriously".
