A woman faced more police questioning today over the death of a man allegedly pushed under a Tube train while wearing women's clothes.

He died after he was struck by a train at London's King's Cross underground station at rush hour on Monday evening.

His companion, aged 34 and from Cricklewood, north-west London, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder.

She had to be restrained by a fellow passenger until police arrived, British Transport Police said.

The station was evacuated and the Piccadilly line temporarily closed as police recovered the body.

Police are appealing for witnesses.
