Met Police

Detectives investigating the murder of a man who was shot in the back of the head while walking home through a park in Penge have made an arrest.

Mr Edwards, 43, was killed in Betts Park in the early hours of 12 July after meeting friends for a drink.

A 25-year-old man was held on Sunday on suspicion of murdering Dean Edwards, and is being questioned at a London police station, Scotland Yard said.

Det Ch Insp Kate Kieran described the arrested as "a major development in our investigation", but added the force "will continue to work hard to make sure that those who are responsible for Dean's death are brought to justice".

"Dean's death is a tragic reminder that carrying a gun has devastating consequences and I continue to plea to anyone with any information to come forward either by calling police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously."

A 15-year-old boy remains in hospital with serious injuries after being stabbed in Birmingham on Sunday.

He was taken into an alleyway by a group of people and stabbed several times, police said.

Emergency services were called to Westley Road, Acocks Green, just before 15:30.

It will become largely dry with cloud breaking to give some sunny spells this afternoon.

There will be the chance of the odd sharp shower later, with gentle north-easterly winds and highest temperatures from 18C to 21C (64F to 70F).

Care homes in Hammersmith and Fulham are closing temporarily to new residents over concerns about the shortage of tests for asymptomatic people who could have coronavirus.

Hammersmith and Fulham council took the precautionary step after the government said it could not deliver the tests.

Ben Coleman, the cabinet member for health and adult social care said the four care homes in the borough were closing to new residents “as a precaution while NHS North West London works on a local solution for testing asymptomatic staff.”

More people in England died from coronaviruss in care homes than elsewhere, according to government statistics.

Office of National Statistics data showed 14,589 care home residents died from coronavirus between March and 24 July.

And a quarter of them lived in homes in London.

The virus was the cause of death for 33 per cent of men and 26 per cent of women living in care homes across the country.

Coronavirus can show up in a range of symptoms, including a high temperature, a continuous cough, loss of smell and taste.

But some people do not have any of these symptom and 40 per cent of cases could be asymptomatic according to a study of cases in an Italian town by researchers from Imperial College London and Padua University.
