Police investigating the murder of a shopkeeper have made a second arrest. A 31-year-old man was arrested on Friday on suspicion of murder by detectives probing the death of Ravi Katharkamar, 54, on March 24.
Mr Katharkamar collapsed inside his shop after he was attacked shortly before 6am that morning. He was pronounced dead at 6.46am. Police have issued additional safety advice to shop owners after a man died during a robbery at his newsagents.
These include having more than one person open and close up, keeping windows as clear as possible and recording any suspicious incidents to local police contacts.
The police also suggest that shopkeepers only keep small amounts of cash in their tills and that, in the event of a robbery, they remain calm, only raise the alarm when safe to do so and remember as many details as possible about those involved.
An online fundraiser for his family has been set up and has collected almost £50,000.
