Chilwell - A schoolboy who ran away to the US with a 33-year-old housewife, the mother of his best friend, returned to Britain yesterday accompanied by his uncle, police said. Sean Kinsella (14), who travelled to Florida with mother-of-three Ms Tracey Whalin 13 days ago, arrived at Gatwick airport on a flight from Miami. Nottinghamshire police said the FBI had arranged for the boy to return to the UK with his uncle. Ms Whalin was still being held in jail in Key West, Florida, accused of "lewd and indecent assault" on a child, while attempts are being made to have her extradited to Britain. - (Reuter)
