Kosovo sends accused ex-priest Lawrence Soper back to UK (BBC)
A former Roman Catholic priest accused of historical sex offences has been returned to the UK from Kosovo after a five-year police hunt.
Lawrence Soper, 72, was officially arrested as he arrived at Luton Airport on Sunday on suspicion of nine charges of sexual offences allegedly committed over a period from 1972 to 1986.
Mr Soper had been detained in May under a European Arrest Warrant in Kosovo.
He is due to appear at Ealing Magistrates' Court later.
Mr Soper was arrested in 2010 and bailed, but failed to return to a London police station in March 2011.
