Detectives investigating the murder of Ali Nasrollahi have today arrested two further men.

Scotland Yard said the men, aged 29 and 23, were held on suspicion of murder and currently remain in custody at a north London police station.

The investigation was launched after Mr Nasrollahi, known to friends as Ali Nasro, was stabbed to death in Woodside Park, North Finchley, on Tuesday shortly before 3pm.

He was found collapsed in the street and was taken to Royal London Hospital where he died two hours later.

A post-mortem examination at Northwick Park mortuary gave the cause of death as a single stab wound to the chest.

Today’s arrests brings the total number to five since the probe was launched.

On Wednesday, a 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder. He was taken into custody at a north London police station and was bailed pending further enquires to a date in May.

On Thursday, another two men, aged 21 and 22, were also arrested and have been charged with murder.

The pair appeared at Hendon Magistrates' Court on Saturday and were remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey next Tuesday.
