<p>Detectives have been granted more time to continue questioning Joanna Yeates&#8217;s landlord on suspicion of her murder.</p>
<p>Chris Jefferies, 65, was arrested on Thursday morning and a magistrate has granted Avon and Somerset Police an extension to hold him beyond 7pm.</p>
<p>The development came after officers spent the day talking to Peter Stanley, 56, a neighbour of the retired public school teacher in Clifton, Bristol, who said he and Mr Jefferies helped start Miss Yeates&#8217;s boyfriend&#8217;s car the day she vanished.</p>
<p>A force spokesman said: &#8220;Police have today, Friday December 31, been granted more time to question a 65-year-old man, arrested on suspicion of murder on Thursday December 30, by magistrates.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Stanley recalled how he and Mr Jefferies used jump leads to start Greg Reardon&#8217;s car, sending him on his way to Sheffield.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was a non-event at the time, but absolutely poignant now &#8211; what if we didn&#8217;t get the car to start?&#8221; said Mr Stanley.</p>
<p>Hours after they started the car, Miss Yeates, a landscape architect, disappeared and her snow-covered body was discovered more than a week later on Christmas Day.</p>
<p>Mr Stanley, who lives in a flat in the mansion to the right of Mr Jefferies&#8217; in Canynge Road, Clifton, is being treated by police as a witness, they confirmed.</p>
<p>Mr Jefferies, who sports distinctive straggly white hair and was described by a neighbour as a &#8220;nutty professor type&#8221;, was arrested at 7am on Thursday. Police have refused to clarify how long the new custody extension lasts for.</p>
<p>The bachelor was taken into custody just 24 hours after he claimed he saw three people leaving Miss Yeates&#8217;s flat on the night she vanished &#8211; December 17.</p>
