An arrest has been made for the "brutal" murder of a 21-year-old man stabbed to death in Surrey Lane last month.
Malachi Brooks was fatally stabbed on March 28.
A man, 21, was arrested this morning (April 26) on suspicion of murder at an address in Tooting. He remains in custody at a south London police station.
Police and London Ambulance were called to Surrey Lane at around 1.10am to reports of a stabbing where they found Mr Brooks suffering severe stab wounds.
He was pronounced dead at the scene at 1.55am.
A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as a stab wound to the heart.
Detective Inspector Tony Lynes, who is leading the investigation, said: "This was a brutal attack on a young man.
"The investigation continues and we continue to appeal to anybody who was in the area at around the time of the attack - from 00:45am onwards - or who lives nearby and may have seen or heard something to come forward and speak to officers as soon as possible."
