Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie, leading the investigation from the Met’s Homicide Command, said: ‘While the arrest of a suspect is a significant step in our investigation, we are still very keen to hear from anyone who can help piece together Mussie’s movements between when he left The Arts Club at 13:00hrs and when he arrived at Dr Power restaurant at 22:30hrs.

‘Customers at the venue tried to help stop the attack, we need to speak with these people and I urge them to contact us.

‘We are releasing Mussie’s name and two photos of him – one showing him on the day of the attack – in the hope that it triggers someone’s memory and prompts them to come forward.’
