– The death of a British diplomat in Beirut was not politically motivated but a criminal act, a police official tells the AP. The BBC reports a taxi driver has been arrested in the death of 30-year-old Rebecca Dykes, whose body was found Saturday alongside a highway in the Lebanese city. The official says the suspect, identified as "Tariq H," per the Guardian, has confessed to the crime; it's believed Dykes was sexually assaulted and strangled. The suspect was apprehended Monday using CCTV footage, which captured his license plate number. He reportedly picked Dykes up as she left a farewell party for a colleague in Beirut's Gemayze neighborhood Friday night. The AP notes the murder has rattled Lebanon, which rarely sees crimes of this nature, particularly ones involving foreigners. Indeed, the Telegraph's Beirut correspondent describes Beirut as a "very safe city" and says "everyone is incredibly shocked. ... It's a village city, a very tight-knit community, so when something happens to one person, it feels quite close." Dykes had been at the UK embassy in Beirut as a program and policy manager with the Department for International Development since January, and had been due to head home for Christmas. (Canada has been shaken by the deaths of a billionaire and his wife.)

 Police in Lebanon have arrested an Uber driver in connection with the murder of a British woman in Beirut. 
  
 The body of Rebecca Dykes, who worked at the British Embassy in the city, was found by a motorway on Saturday. 
  
 The arrested man was 35 and has served several prison sentences, a senior Lebanese security source told the BBC. 
  
 Ms Dykes had been sexually assaulted and strangled, and the man is expected to be charged with rape and murder later this week, police sources said. 
  
 Her family said in a statement: "We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Rebecca. We are doing all we can to understand what happened." 
  
 Ms Dykes, who is believed to have been 30, had been working in Beirut as the programme and policy manager for the Department for International Development since January 2017. 
  
 It is thought she spent Friday evening at a going-away party for a colleague in the popular Gemmayzeh district of Beirut. 
  
 After leaving the bar at about midnight it appears she was abducted. Her body was found close to a motorway on the outskirts of the city.

 The Foreign Office said it was in contact with the Lebanese authorities and confirmed an arrest had been made. 
  
 The suspect was arrested in the early hours of Monday morning after police reportedly traced his car on traffic management CCTV. 
  
 An official told the Reuters and AFP news agencies the preliminary investigation had showed Ms Dykes's killing "was not politically motivated". 
  
 International community stunned 
  
 By Martin Patience, BBC Middle East correspondent, Beirut 
  
 The Gemmayzeh district of Beirut where Rebecca Dykes was last seen alive is well-known for having some of the city's best and most expensive bars and restaurants. 
  
 There is normally a relaxed atmosphere. It is a neighbourhood where foreign aid workers, diplomats and journalists mingle with wealthy Lebanese often into the early hours of the morning. 
  
 Despite the chaos seen elsewhere in the region, Beirut in recent years has been regarded as relatively safe. That is why this murder has left the international community so shocked. 
  
 After a late night out, many people would previously have thought nothing of catching one of the cabs that ply the streets, or calling for an Uber. 
  
 For a short while, anyway, that is likely to change. People will be more careful about how they get home. Beirut may be relatively safe but - as in any big city across the world - this murder is a reminder of the dangers. 
  
 Josie Ensor, the Daily Telegraph's correspondent in Beirut, says the case has left foreign residents in the city unsettled. 
  
 Speaking to the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme, she said Beirut was a "very tight-knit community, so when something happens to one person, it feels quite close". 
  
 Ms Ensor, who was due to attend the same party on Friday evening, added Ms Dykes "had just landed on her feet in Beirut and was starting to make friends and getting to know the city". 
  
 Hugo Shorter, the British Ambassador to Lebanon, said the whole embassy was "deeply shocked" and "saddened" by the news. 
  
 Tributes were paid to Ms Dykes in the House of Lords on Monday. 
  
 Former Conservative MP Lady McIntosh said: "The loss of Rebecca Dykes in these circumstances is felt very deeply. 
  
 "And can we pay tribute to the work that she and the all Dfid team do, often in very dangerous circumstances, particularly at this time of year, for humanitarian purposes?" 
  
 The International Development Minister Lord Bates added: "It's obviously a very distressing time, particularly for Becky's family, but also for the people who worked with her. 
  
 "It reminds us of the sacrifice which is made by over 1,200 Dfid personnel who work around the world, often in the most difficult and dangerous of environments." 
  
 A Dfid spokesman said: "Our thoughts are with Becky's family and friends at this very upsetting time. 
  
 "There is now a police investigation and the Foreign Office is providing consular support to Becky's family and working with the local authorities‎."

 A Lebanese Uber driver has confessed to killing a British diplomat in Beirut, a judicial source has told the Guardian. 
  
 The body of Rebecca Dykes was found on the side of a motorway in the early hours of Saturday morning. Local police suggested she had been strangled. A judicial source later confirmed that she had been sexually assaulted. 
  
 Her body was found without any identity papers on the Metn highway, which leads out of the Lebanese capital to the north-eastern suburbs. A postmortem suggested she had died at about 4am on Saturday. 
  
 In an official statement released by the British Foreign Office on Monday her family said: “For Becky to have her life cruelly taken away in these circumstances is devastating to our family. Becky is simply irreplaceable and we will never fully recover from this loss.” 
  
 Dykes, who was believed to be 30 years old, had spent the evening with friends at a cafe in Gemmayze, a district of Beirut known for its bars and restaurants. She is thought to have left on her own at around midnight. 
  
 The suspect arrested on Monday morning has been named as Tariq H, a taxi driver for Uber. 
  
 The source said preliminary investigations showed the killing was not politically motivated, and that the suspect had confessed to the crime. 
  
 The source said Dykes had hired the driver using the ride-hailing app. Lebanon’s state news agency, NNA, said the vehicle that picked her up was identified using CCTV footage. 
  
 A spokesman for Uber said in an email: “We are horrified by this senseless act of violence. Our hearts are with the victim and her family. We are working with authorities to assist their investigation in any way we can.” 
  
 The British ambassador to Lebanon, Hugo Shorter, tweeted about Dykes’s death: “The whole embassy is deeply shocked, saddened by this news. My thoughts are with Becky’s family, friends and colleagues for their tragic loss. 
  
 “We’re providing consular support to her family and working very closely with Lebanese authorities who are conducting the police investigation.” 
  
 Dykes worked as a programme and policy manager with the Department for International Development and as a policy manager with the Libya team at the Foreign Office, according to her LinkedIn page. 
  
 She had previously worked as an Iraq research analyst with the Foreign Office. She had a degree from Manchester University and a masters in international security and global governance from Birkbeck, University of London. 
  
 A Foreign Office spokesman said: “Following the death of a British woman in Beirut, we are providing support to the family. We remain in close contact with local authorities. Our thoughts are with the family at this difficult time.” 
  
 The information branch of Lebanon’s internal security forces, the intelligence department of the police, is conducting the investigation. ||||| This undated family photo released on Sunday, Dec 17, 2017 by the Britain's Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in London, shows Rebecca Dykes, a British staffer at the British embassy in Lebanon, who...

 BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanese authorities have detained a man suspected in the killing of a British woman who worked at the U.K. Embassy in Beirut and whose body was found near the city over the weekend, a police official said Monday. 
  
 The woman's murder was a "criminal act" and was not politically motivated, the official said, adding that the suspect had confessed to the killing. 
  
 The woman, later identified by British media and friends as Rebecca Dykes, was found strangled on the side of a motorway on Saturday. 
  
 When she was found, there were no items pointing to her identity and she had no money or a cellular telephone. Authorities released a drawing of her in order for people who know her to come forward and identify her. 
  
 Meanwhile, Britain's Foreign Office confirmed the death of an embassy staffer who worked for the Department for International Development. 
  
 In a statement released by the Foreign Office, the family requested that the media respect their privacy "at this very difficult time." 
  
 "We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Rebecca. We are doing all we can to understand what happened," her family said. 
  
 "The whole embassy is deeply shocked and saddened by this news," said British Ambassador to Lebanon Hugo Shorter in a statement, "Our thoughts are with Becky's family, friends and colleagues for their tragic loss." 
  
 On Monday, a police official said the suspect was traced through security cameras that showed his car driving from Beirut to the area where Dykes' body was found, just north of the Lebanese capital. 
  
 "He was detained at his apartment," the official said. He added that once the plate number of the vehicle was traced through security cameras, the suspect, who is a Lebanese citizen, was identified. 
  
 Lebanon's state-run National News Agency said the suspect is a taxi driver who picked up the woman from Beirut's Gemayze neighborhood, known for its restaurants and pubs, then drove to a nearby neighborhood where she lived but did not drop her off there. 
  
 Instead, the suspect drove the car to the site where Dykes' body was later found. NNA said the man tried to sexually assault her, then strangled her with a rope. The police have not confirmed those details. 
  
 The murder has shaken Lebanon, where such crimes, particularly against foreigners, are relatively uncommon. 
  
 Earlier, a forensics official told The Associated Press that the woman was strangled with a rope and that authorities were investigating whether she was also sexually assaulted. Both the police and the forensics official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to reporters. 
  
 Dykes' friends said she was planning to fly home for Christmas on Saturday. |||||
