A British man arrested over the murder of his wife and baby daughter today agreed to be sent back the United States to face the allegations.
Mr Entwistle arriving in court today
Neil Entwistle (27), who was arrested in London yesterday, is accused of shooting his wife, Rachel, in the head before turning the handgun on nine-month-old Lillian at their home in Massachusetts three weeks ago.
At Bow Street Magistrates' Court in central London today, Entwistle's lawyer said his client wished to be returned to the United States "as soon as possible".
District judge Anthony Evans said Mr Entwistle had to sign a form to waive his right to extradition proceedings.
He said: "You are agreeing to be sent immediately to the US and there will be no extradition proceedings." Mr Entwistle nodded and replied: "That's right, yes."
The unemployed computer programmer left the United States a day after the killings to stay with his parents in the United Kingdom.
Middlesex District Attorney Martha Coakley had told journalists in the United States that Mr Entwistle had been having financial problems before the murders and had no apparent income to support his family.
She said a reporter's suggestion at the press conference in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that Mr Entwistle was a "desperate man" was "not an unfair conclusion".
She said Mr Entwistle had left debts in England when he moved to the United States last year, his Internet businesses were failing and he had new financial obligations, including the lease on his five-bedroom home. The debts were not a "huge amount", but he was jobless and had no visible means of support, she said.
As well as two counts of murder, Mr Entwistle also faces accusations of illegal possession of a firearm and illegal possession of ammunition.
