A second person has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man was killed in a suspected arson attack in south London.

The Met Police were called by the London Fire Brigade to a multi-occupancy house in Glenister Park Road, Streatham, shortly after 7pm on Sunday, following reports of a fire. Tragically 49-year-old man was found dead inside.

Detectives, who believe the fire was started deliberately, on Monday arrested a 34-year-old woman on suspicion of murder and arson with intent to endanger life.

A new Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) is causing such bad congestion that buses take two hours to travel less than three miles.

Transport for London (TfL) data shows that last week the A23, which runs along the western side of the LTN, became so bogged down in traffic that it took the bus 121 minutes to travel 2.9 miles.
