Officers have arrested a man on suspicion of murdering Sean O'Neill in west London. 

The suspect will join another man charged with murder in standing trial at Kingston Crown Court at a later date.

The Metropolitan Police issued an appeal to locate a 22-year-old man yesterday, 26 March.

New information from the public led to the suspect's arrest at a house in Coventry this morning (27 March).

Detective Inspector Kevin Martin, who is leading the investigation, said: "We would like to thank the public and the media for sharing our appeal so widely. This is a significant development and we have updated Sean's family."

An investigation was launched after police were called at 6:51pm on 18 May to reports of a man found injured in Reynolds Road, Hayes.

Officers responded and found 30-year-old Mr O'Neill with stab injuries. 

Despite the efforts of the emergency services, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
