Det Supt Shaun Edwards, overseeing the investigation, previously said: “We’re supporting the family of the man who has died at what is a truly awful time for them, and our thoughts go out to them. We’ve made some really good early progress in this investigation, but there is still a lot of work to be done in identifying all of those involved in what happened last night.

There can never be a sense of loyalty when someone has committed the most gruesome act of murder and they are now also rightly convicted criminals.

Sadly, there were others who were willing to try and help him stay hidden. They were fully aware Ms Doyle was lying dead in the flat but were content to cover for a killer and not say anything. Emergency services rushed to the scene of the fatal stabbing, but nothing could be done to save the victim. Another man, aged 44, suffered a small stab wound.Detective Chief Inspector Dave Sanders, from the force's homicide team, said: "Our thoughts remain with the family of Mr Zou who have now been informed about their loved ones death.

She raised the knife up high and brought it down in a classic stabbing motion and plunged it deep into the middle of his chest. Cordelia Farrell, 38, knifed her partner Wayne Coventry, 36, in front of horrified friends after they argued at his brother's house.Despite the best efforts of the emergency services Mr Zou died at the scene and detectives launched a murder investigation.

A post mortem examination revealed Mr Hawkesford-Barnes died as a result of traumatic injuries to his head and upper body.

He was rushed into the mosque for some sort of safety and sanctuary only for him to collapse inside the funeral area and breathe his final breaths. I speak on behalf of the mosque and local community who severely condemn this vile, despicable and callous act. Hughes also denied two further cruelty counts – ill-treating Arthur on multiple occasions by “forcing him to stand, isolating him within the family home, and physically or verbally intimidating him” and “wilfully assaulting Arthur on multiple occasions".
