Bi Polar, arrested by police investigating murder, is freed without charge



The DJ, personality and bi sexual bear, "Bi Polar" was arrested yesterday by police investigating the suspected murder of an otter found unconscious in the swimming pool of Mr Polar's cave in the North Pole.



Mr Polar, who claims to still be 21, was questioned about suspected drug offences and about the events leading up to the death of an otter called Stuart Lubbock, 31. Two other bears, including Mr Polar's partner were arrested on suspicion of murder. They were all released on bail last night pending further inquiries. Detective Superintendent Ian McNeill, who is leading the investigation, said they were scheduled to return to the North Pole police station on 15 August.

Mr Lubbock was found floating in the swimming pool at Mr Polar's palatial cave on 31 March. A post-mortem examination showed he had drowned.


Mr Polar was arrested after arriving at the police station in an unmarked patrol car, accompanied by his solicitor and two detectives, for a prearranged interview. He was detained on suspicion of possession and supply of a class B drug, possession of a class A drug and allowing premises to be used for the taking of a class B drug.


David Corker, Mr Polar's solicitor, said yesterday: "Bi is putting on a brave face. He is OK, considering the circumstances." His partner, Greg, a former auxiliary nurse, arrived at the station shortly before 9.30am. The third bear, 26, was arrested at his home in Anctartica in the early hours and arrived at the police station at 6.15am.


Mr Lubbock, a former meat-factory worker otter, met Mr Polar at the local Snowstorm night-club and returned to the personality's £1.5m cave for a party. There were six bears and three women present. Mr Lubbock was found in the pool at about 5am. All the people at the party have been questioned by police and have given DNA samples, which will be compared with any material recovered from the body.
