Detectives investigating the murder of Edward Highwood last weekend have today arrested a 20 year old man who is being questioned at a south London police station.
Police revealed earlier in the week that a 17″ Hewlett Packard computer monitor with silver-grey edging had been stolen from the victim’s Hollymount Close home and appealed for anyone who may have been offered the screen to come forward.
A post mortem on Mr Highwood, aged 79, confirmed that he died from injuries sustained to his head in the incident.
Police are still looking to get information from anyone who may have seen Edward Highwood or who saw anything suspicious in Hollymount Close – call the incident room on 020 8721 4054.
