A man arrested by police in Germany on suspicion of the murder of an internet gaming enthusiast in Nottingham is facing extradition proceedings.
Matthew Pyke, 20, was found stabbed in his flat above the Orange Tree pub on North Sherwood Street on Friday.
A 21-year-old man from Limburg was arrested on Wednesday in Hunfelden by officers from West-Hessen Police.
Nottinghamshire Police said the man, who has not been named, was now in Frankfurt for the extradition hearing.
A force spokeswoman added: "We are questioning him with German police."
Officers in England and Germany said the arrested man knew the victim through an online games forum.
'Extensively interviewed'
Mr Pyke, originally from Stowmarket in Suffolk, ran a web forum for the Nintendo game Advance Wars on which gamers could chat online with each other about tactics, characters and plots.
He had lived in the city for two years and was about to start a degree at Nottingham Trent University.
