A man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a Pakistani politician.
Dr Imran Farooq was attacked outside his home in Green Lane, Edgware, but died of multiple stab wounds and blunt force trauma to the head in September 2010.
A kitchen knife with a five-inch blade and a house brick used in the attack were recovered at the scene.
Officers today arrested a 30-year-old at an address in Waltham Forest on suspicion of being concerned with the murder.
They are currently searching the address and the arrested man remains in custody in a central London police station.
The two men were living in the Stanmore area at the time of the murder of the politician Dr Farooq.
The father-of-two was a founding member of the MQM party, Pakistan’s third largest political party, but had lived in England in self-imposed exile since 1999.
A 52-year-old man, arrested on June 2013 on suspicion of conspiracy to murder at Heathrow Airport, remains on police bail pending further enquiries.
