Under guard: Stuart Andrews, 54, who was found with self inflicted injuries and detained by police
A City IT consultant and former Bank of England adviser under police guard in hospital after the suspected murder of his wife was last night being treated for self-inflicted injuries.
Oxford classics graduate Stuart Andrews, 54, was arrested in London after his wife Caroline, 52, was found dead by police on Thursday at the rented £500,000 bungalow in Benenden, Kent, where they lived with their four children.
Last night police refused to reveal the nature of Mr Andrews’ injuries or how he had received them.
A Kent Police spokesman said: ‘He has non-life threatening injuries in hospital. Officers are waiting to speak to him.’
The spokesman said the death of Mrs Andrews, who worked as a supply teacher at Benenden Primary School, was being treated as murder.
He added that a post-mortem into her death had taken place on Friday, but he was unable to confirm how she died, saying only: ‘She did not die as a result of a firearm.’
During the hunt for Mr Andrews, 30 officers carrying guns piled on to a busy commuter train at Gillingham station and searched it for 90 minutes.
Footage shows officers walking down the train carriage holding guns, with one distressed passenger demanding to be let off because he was claustrophobic.

Mr Andrews’s social media profile describes him as an information management consultant for global business advisers Alix Partners, and says he graduated from Oxford in 1984.
Mr Andrews went on to work for banks including HSBC and the Royal Bank of Scotland. It is believed he and his wife may have had financial difficulties.
According to The Sunday Times, he also provided services for the Bank of England and had been married to his wife for more than 30 years.
The newspaper also reported that they had four children - organist Charles, 26, graduate Henry, 23, student Polly, 19, and a daughter aged 14. Only the youngest still lived with them.
Neighbour Derek Catlin said Mr and Mrs Andrews lived at the property with their four children aged from around early to late teens, along with their two dogs.

Retired chartered surveyor Mr Catlin, 71, said: ‘They were very normal, very pleasant people. This makes us all feel very odd.'
Another local, Karen Callaghan, 49, said: ‘It's very sad for the village. Everyone knows everyone round here. The locals have been here a long time.’
Benenden Primary School headteacher Gill Knox said: ‘The tragic death of Caroline Andrews has left the staff at Benenden C of E School shocked and saddened.
‘Caroline and her family live in the village and are well known at the school. Caroline has been a loved and well-respected supply teacher for a number of years who has enriched the lives of the many children she taught.
‘At the present time we cannot comment on what has happened but our thoughts and prayers are with her family and all who knew her and will miss her.’
