Two arrested over constable's killing

Two men have been arrested in connection with the murder of special constable Nisha Patel-Nasri.

Mrs Patel-Nasri, 29, was stabbed outside her home in Wembley, north London on May 11.

It is believed that she may have heard noises outside her home and went outside to investigate. She was stabbed in the leg and bled to death.

Police confirmed that a 37-year-old man from north London and a 41-year-old man from east London were arrested in the early hours of the morning.

They are the first people to be arrested in connection with the death of Mrs Patel-Nasri.

Detectives have also recovered an Audi A4, which is believed to be linked to the attack, from a street in southwest London.

The murder weapon, a John Lewis Evolution cook's knife from Mrs Patel-Nasri's kitchen which she is believed to have taken outside with her, was recovered by police shortly after the attack. It was found to contain DNA from the special constable and her suspected attacker.

The motive for the attack on Mrs Patel-Nasri is still not known.
