A paedophile killed himself with cyanide to prevent himself being extradited to the Netherlands for importing child porn.

Chemistry teacher Keith Hudson, 54, who lived in Crowborough, was due to fly out to serve five months in a Dutch prison but failed to turn up at Heathrow airport.

He had been given bail on strict conditions including payment of a £10,000 security by his brother to City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in London.

But the day after he was due to be deported he was found slumped over the steering wheel of his Citroen C4 at Gorsey Down car park at Ashdown Forest.
