A man has been arrested over the murder of a shopkeeper stabbed to death in Wembley, north-west London.

On Thursday night Sivaperakash Supramaniam, 33, had walked into his shop in Harrow Road to find his wife in a row with a man and a woman.

At around 9.15pm Mr Supramaniam followed the pair around the corner into Tring Avenue, where he was stabbed repeatedly.

The shopkeeper, who ran Haran Food & Wine and lived next-door, died shortly after being rushed to Central Middlesex Hospital.

Detectives said the motive was apparently not robbery.

Two men and a woman questioned over the murder have been released without charge. A 44-year-old man remains in custody.
