Hans Kristian Rausing, the Tetra Pak heir, was charged on Tuesday with preventing the lawful and decent burial of his US-born wife Eva.

British police discovered Eva Rausing’s body at the couple’s home in the upscale Belgravia district last week after detaining her husband over drugs charges.

Scotland Yard detective Sharon Marman said police had stopped Hans Kristian Rausing’s car in south London because they suspected he was driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and they discovered a small amount of drugs.

Marman continued, “Authority was granted to search the home address…and during the course of that search officers discovered the apparently lifeless body of a female in one of the bedrooms.”

According to Marman, a post-mortem examination proved inconclusive and further test results are awaited.
