The husband of Cleckheaton woman Kerry Page, who faces extradition to Kenya on theft charges, is expected to give himself up to police today after flying to Britain to be by her side.

Arran Morris flew to London on Monday after learning he would not face extradition proceedings in Dubai over the same charges of stealing and handling £250,000 worth of United Nations equipment.

But it has been revealed he was expected to voluntarily submit himself to Charing Cross police station later today and was due to appear at Bow Street Magistrates Court alongside 30-year-old Kerry, who will appear under her married name, Kerry Morris. She gave herself up in December after going on the run in Kenya.

Kerry, from Scholes, Cleckheaton, Australian Robert McVicker and Kenyan taxi driver Ali Malizon are accused of theft and handling stolen equipment belonging to the U.N.

It is alleged they helped steal £250,000 worth of equipment - including vehicles, forklift trucks, refrigeration containers and prefab buildings - after the refugee crisis in Somalia four years ago.

Her solicitor Peter Billing said: "Kerry's husband came back into this country to help her win this case. He will voluntarily submit himself to Charing Cross police station and will be jointly accused of the offences.

"He was arrested in Dubai but his passport was released on March 31 because the Attorney General refused extradition requests from Kenya.

"We consider these allegations have no foundation and that's why he came back to this country to defend himself."
