<p>Police have been given an extra 12 hours to hold a man being questioned in connection with the murder of mother-to-be Nikitta Grender.</p>
<p>Murder hunt detectives arrested a 26-year-old man on Wednesday in connection with the violent killing.</p>
<p>The heavily pregnant teenager, 19, was found dead in her burnt-out flat in Broadmean Park, Liswerry, Newport, South Wales, on February 5.</p>
<p>What appeared to be a tragic death rapidly turned into a murder investigation when police revealed she had been stabbed twice.</p>
<p>Gwent Police confirmed that they have been granted an extra 12 hours to hold the man they are questioning.</p>
<p>The murder suspect was named locally today as Carl Whant, 26, who lives on Newport&#8217;s Bettws estate, several miles from the killing.</p>
<p>The father-of-one is second cousin of Miss Grender&#8217;s boyfriend Ryan Mayes, 18, and known to be a close friend.</p>
<p>Mr Mayes is listed on Whant&#8217;s Facebook page as a friend. The photographic link to his page is a poignant image of the teenager and Miss Grender kissing.</p>
<p>Whant is understood to be a former Welsh Guard who works as a bouncer at nightclubs across Newport.</p>
<p>His arrest followed confirmation by police that they had recovered two knives in their search for the murder weapon. Both have been sent for forensic examination.</p>
