Brown's estranged husband, Robert, 47, was ordered held without bail Friday pending another hearing Monday in Slough Magistrate's Court. He was arrested Thursday on suspicion of killing his 46-year-old wife.

Joanna Brown, 46, inherited several million pounds from her father, a developer on the Isle of Man. She married Robert Brown, a British Airways pilot, 11 years ago.

The couple, who have two young children, separated three years ago, and their divorce was about to become final.
