Key Breakthrough in Investigation
Following the arrests, officers executed search warrants at two properties in Chiswick, where they say “significant evidence” was recovered, aiding the murder probe.

Police: May Have Been Targeted Attack
Detective Chief Superintendent Christina Jessah, who leads policing in Central West London, described the arrests as a “significant milestone” in the unfolding investigation.
“While we retain an open mind around motive, one line of enquiry is now that this may have been a targeted attack,” she said.
“Increased patrols remain in place in and around Knightsbridge. I encourage anyone with concerns or information to speak with our officers.”
