What does interest me is the timing of the arrest. What exactly prompted it right now?
He's being reported here in the UK as having been 'on the run', whereas he owned a massive property in Switzerland which he lived in openly whilst travelling all over Europe and elsewhere.

I would not have said that Polanski was 'on the run' as reported in the UK press but he has avoided going to the US. He has lived very openly in Europe for many years.
The coincidental timing of Susan Aitken's death in the same week is I think just coincidence. But spooky all the same.
