A 37-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the deaths of riders Jamie Kyne and Jan Wilson in a flat fire.
The local man was detained by officers investigating the blaze at a complex in Norton, near Malton. The fire claimed the life of promising apprentices Kyne, 18, and 19-year-old Wilson.
Two other young jockeys, Ian Brennan and Dean Pratt, were injured as they escaped from a three-storey block just off Norton's main street. A police spokesman said he could not confirm the arrested man was the same person who was detained shortly after the incident in September and later released.
The deaths of the two young riders shocked the racing world and a series of tributes were held at racecourses and yards across Britain and Ireland. The arrested man is being held at a police station in North Yorkshire.
