Three men held over lawyer murder

Police are continuing to question three men in connection with the murder of City lawyer Tom ap Rhys Price last week.

Mr Rhys Price was mugged and then stabbed to death just yards from his home in Willesden, north London last Thursday night.

The 31-year-old solicitor, who worked for the firm Linklaters, had been on a night out with colleagues and had just left Kensal Green Tube Station when he was attacked.

Metropolitan Police said that the three men were all arrested in Kilburn on Wednesday and were being held in different police stations in London.

Mr Rhys Price had announced his engagement to fiancée Adele Eastman last October and the couple had been preparing for their wedding in September this year.
