<p>Detectives are questioning the landlord of Joanna Yeates on suspicion of her murder.</p>
<p>Retired public school teacher Chris Jefferies, 65, was arrested at 7am on Thursday at his flat directly above the basement Victorian property he rented to the 25-year-old landscape architect and her boyfriend Greg Reardon, 27.</p>
<p>The bachelor&#8217;s arrest came just 24 hours after he claimed he had watched as three people left Miss Yeates&#8217;s flat in Canynge Road, in the upmarket area of Clifton, Bristol, on the night she vanished.</p>
<p>Neighbours have described Mr Jefferies, who sports a distinctive mane of straggly white hair, as a &#8220;nutty professor-type&#8221; who was active in his community &#8211; playing a prominent role in his local Neighbourhood Watch group.</p>
<p>He taught English at Clifton College, just yards from his flat, from the early 1970s before taking early retirement in 2001.</p>
<p>Mr Jefferies, a enthusiastic activist for the Liberal Democrats in Clifton, is also a member of the Clifton and Hotwells Improvement Society (CHIS), which campaigns to conserve buildings in the area.</p>
<p>Police took away two cars &#8211; a silver Chrysler Neon parked on the street and a grey Volvo S40 that was on Mr Jefferies&#8217;s drive &#8211; for examination.</p>
<p>Forensic officers spent Thursday in both Miss Yeates&#8217;s flat and Mr Jefferies&#8217;s property &#8211; taking away large brown evidence bags from both.</p>
<p>Miss Yeates was last seen on December 17 and her snow-covered body was found on Christmas morning by a couple walking their dogs in Longwood Lane in Failand, North Somerset. She had been strangled.</p>
<p>Her parents, David, 63, and Theresa, 58, said they were pleased an arrest had been made. </p>
