A 40-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender in relation to the murder of schoolgirl Milly Dowler, Surrey Police said.

Police say he is being questioned about the disposal of a red Daewoo Nexia car about which officers have appealed for information as part of their investigation into the murder of the 13-year-old.
Amanda, who was known to family and friends as Milly, went missing on March 21, 2002, after catching a train from her school in Weybridge, Surrey, to her home in Walton.
Her remains were found more than 20 miles away in Yateley Heath Wood, near Fleet, Hampshire, six months after she went missing.

Her death remains one of Britain's most notorious unsolved crimes.
Earlier this month, divers searched Bedfont Lake, near London's Heathrow Airport, for the Daewoo Nexia but said they found "nothing of any relevance".
Investigators received new information suggesting the car had been dumped there but said after the search they had no plans to return to the lake.
Despite extensive searches over the past four years there are still no signs of the car.
Prime suspect Levi Bellfield has admitted driving the car but claims he was carrying building materials.
Officers have been painstakingly building a case against Bellfield since he was arrested by the Metropolitan Police in November 2004 over other matters.
Levi Bellfield
he 41-year-old was told last year that he would die in jail after he was found guilty of murdering students Marsha McDonnell, 19, and Amelie Delagrange, 22.
He was also convicted of the attempted murder of schoolgirl Kate Sheedy, 18.
All of the women were attacked near bus stops in south west London.
Bellfield, a former nightclub bouncer and wheelclamper, was arrested and interviewed over Milly's death four years ago.
Last month, Crown Prosecution Service solicitors were handed a dossier of evidence by Surrey Police and are now considering whether to charge Bellfield with murder.
It emerged that detectives investigating Milly's murder obtained new evidence, which cannot be disclosed for legal reasons, last December.
