A HOTEL worker accused of selling One Direction star Liam Payne drugs before his death has handed himself into police. A manhunt was launched for Ezequiel David Pereyra, 21, last week after he failed to comply with a judge's orders. Pereyra is said to have negotiated his surrender to the authorities through his lawyer.

A well-placed source told respected Argentinian news daily La Nacion: “After Friday’s operation a place where police believed he was working and other residential addresses were put under surveillance and because of the pressure he did the right thing with help from his lawyer.”.

Police first tried to arrest him at his home on the outskirts of Buenos Aires on Friday through an arrest warrant from the courts. Judge Laura Bruniard had ordered Pereyra and another alleged drug dealer was hauled into pre-trial custody. After he refused to show up after 24 hours, judge Bruniard ordered his arrest.
