Husband remanded over Pc killing

The husband of special constable Nisha Patel-Nasri has been remanded in custody charged with her murder.

Fadi Nasri, 33, was arrested on suspicion of murder at an address in Wembley, northwest London on Tuesday morning.

He was charged last night, along with another man, Roger Lesley, 37. Mr Lesley was originally arrested in connection with the case last December, but was interviewed again by police this week.

Both men appeared before West London Magistrates' Court on Thursday. They have been remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on March 16.

Two other men have already been charged with Mrs Patel-Nasri's murder. Tony Emmanuel, 41, and Jason Jones, 35, are due to appear at the Old Bailey for a hearing on March 16.

Mrs Patel-Nasri was stabbed in the leg and bled to death outside her home in Sudbury Avenue in Wembley on May 11 last year.

The 29-year-old, who was off-duty at the time, had been a special constable for three-and-a-half years.
