'Relative' held over diplomat murder

Police have arrested a 28-year-old man on suspicion of murdering a diplomat, who was found fatally stabbed at his home.

Paramedics discovered Cameroonian diplomat Kitts Mbeboh, 60, with serious injuries in Middleton Avenue, Greenford, west London.

Police are questioning the man, who is believed to be a relative of the diplomat, at a north London police station.

Mr Mbeboh was taken by ambulance to hospital where he later died. A post-mortem examination found the cause of death was a single stab wound.

Emergency services discovered the victim shortly after a member of the public dialled 999.

Mr Mbeboh was the second counsellor for cultural affairs at the Cameroonian High Commission in Holland Park.
