THE Porsche belonging to Paris murder suspect Ian Griffin has been found in Warrington.

The 39-year-old Knutsford businessman fled the exclusive Bristol Hotel in Paris on Tuesday before the battered body of his 36-year-old tycoon girlfriend, Kinga Legg, was discovered by cleaners.

Cheshire Police have now found the black 911 sports car that he had travelled to Paris in from London at a house in Warrington connected to Griffin.

It is understood the discovery was made at the mansion of Griffins' parents, Bernard and Janet, in Delph Lane, Winwick some time between Thursday and yesterday.

The Porsche has since been recovered by police for further investigation.

It is not known whether Griffins' parents are aware that he returned to Warrington or that he stored his car at their home.

Officers have been standing guard outside their Winwick mansion since yesterday.
