Three arrested after father stabbed to death outside Knightsbridge hotel
Blue Stevens, 24, from Yateley in Hampshire, was killed in front of his partner next to the Park Tower Knightsbridge hotel on July 9.
The Metropolitan Police said it may have been a 'targeted attack'.
The incident occurred just before 9.30pm outside the hotel and casino, which is yards from Harvey Nichols department store.
Two men were arrested in Hounslow, west London, on Saturday. One man was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder and remains in custody, while another was detained on suspicion of murder and has been bailed.
Following their arrests, officers obtained a warrant to search two properties in Chiswick, west London, where 'significant evidence' was recovered, a Met spokesman said.
On Monday, a third man was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and remains in custody.
Detective Chief Superintendent Christina Jessah said: 'These arrests mark a significant milestone in this complex and unfolding murder investigation.
'We continue to progress at pace. While we retain an open mind around motive, one line of inquiry is now that this may have been a targeted attack.'
The victim's partner visited the scene last Thursday and was comforted as she left flowers and a note.
The note read: 'We are all absolutely devastated without you. You took a piece of my heart with you. A part of me has gone with you. I love you more than absolutely anyone in this world. My boy forever and always.'
Mr Stevens's friends and family also left flowers at the scene, with his cousin describing him as 'the loveliest father'.
It is believed that Mr Stevens had a young son and daughter.

Notting Hill Carnival zombie knife attacker jailed for 18 years
A man who used a zombie knife to slash a teenager at Notting Hill Carnival has been jailed for 18 years. Rumarni Tuitt, 19, used a 12-inch knife to slice open the stomach of 18-year-old Kamani Spooner on August 26, 2024. The defendant, from Walthamstow, east London, was found guilty of attempted murder having admitted possession of a knife. Tuitt was caught carrying a Rambo knife which he swung out at Notting Hill Carnival in 2023, although no-one was injured on that occasion, the Old Bailey heard. He was serving a community order for that offence when he attacked Mr Spooner in front of a crowd of revellers at last year's event. Jailing him for 18 years on Friday, Judge Judy Khan KC said: 'It is not the first time you have travelled to the carnival armed with a fearsome weapon. 'On this occasion, you used it to devastating effect. It is fortunate Mr Spooner escaped with his life. 'There can be no excuse for committing an offence of this gravity.' The attack was in front of a 'substantial number' of people and lunging out with a knife in a crowded public place put others at risk of being injured, she said. Previously, prosecutor Mark Paltenghi had said the two young men did not know each other before their paths crossed in Canal Way, west London, just before 8pm. During the attack, Tuitt had 'sliced open Mr Spooner's stomach with a 12-inch zombie knife' and then stabbed him four more times in the side and back and cut his right forearm. Mr Spooner told police he spent much of the day at the carnival drinking with his friends. Towards the end of the day, a fight broke out around him with three people close by throwing punches, according to his account. Mr Paltenghi had said: 'He then recalls being hit in the back and upon looking at his arm, saw it had been cut, then looked down and saw that his intestines were hanging out. 'He put his hand over them and just ran. 'He cannot cast any light on why it was he would have been attacked.' Tuitt claimed that he was acting in self defence and jurors were told there was no evidence he harboured a grievance against Mr Spooner. In mitigation, Sheryl Nwosu said the defendant's young age, immaturity and neurodivergence had affected his actions. He had displayed 'impulsive and reckless' decision making by choosing to attend Notting Hill Carnival armed with a weapon out of a 'perceived need for self protection', Ms Nwosu said. As Tuitt was being sentenced at the Old Bailey on Friday, a woman in the public gallery broke down in tears.

Tennessee man sought in 4 deaths spent years in prison for robbing a convenience store at age 16
The man wanted in the northwest Tennessee deaths of four people — two of whom had an infant who was found alive in a front yard more than 30 miles away — had spent years in prison for robbing a convenience store as a 16-year-old and threatening to go after jurors, court records show. Authorities are now offering a reward of up to $15,000 for information leading to the arrest of 28-year-old Austin Robert Drummond. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has said it obtained warrants for Drummond charging him with four counts of first-degree murder, one count of aggravated kidnapping and weapons offenses. Drummond, who has been added to the TBI's Most Wanted List, should be considered armed and dangerous, officials said. Drummond was tried as an adult for the July 2013 robbery in Jackson, Tennessee. During the incident, he pointed a pistol at the gas station store worker and ordered the cash register to be opened, taking the $44 inside, court records show. During a 2020 hearing in which he was denied parole, Drummond said he was on Xanax the night of the robbery and doesn't remember robbing the gas station. He said the gun was a BB gun. After the jury convicted him of one count of aggravated robbery in August 2014, he made threats to go after jurors, Drummond said during the parole hearing. He pleaded guilty in February 2015 to 13 counts of retaliation for past action. The Associated Press obtained audio of the parole board hearing through a public records request. Drummond was given a combined 13-year sentence. His sentence ended in September 2024, according to the parole board meeting and Tennessee Department of Correction records. As of the 2020 parole hearing, Drummond had more than two dozen disciplinary issues in prison, including possession of a deadly weapon, assault, refusing a drug test and gang activity. Drummond said the assault and the deadly weapon charges occurred because he was almost beaten to death. The investigation began after an infant in a car seat was found in a front yard in the Tigrett area on Tuesday afternoon. The Dyer County Sheriff's Office said in a statement posted on social media that a caller reported the infant had been dropped off by a minivan or mid-size SUV at a 'random individual's front yard' with a photo of the baby in a paramedic's arms. After identifying the infant, the sheriff's office said later that night that they were working with investigators in neighboring Lake County where four people had been found dead. On Wednesday, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation identified the four people found dead in Tiptonville as James M. Wilson, 21; Adrianna Williams, 20; Cortney Rose, 38; and Braydon Williams, 15. Wilson and Adrianna Williams were the infant's parents and Rose was Adrianna and Braydon Williams' mother, according to District Attorney Danny Goodman. All four of the victims lived in Dyer County, he said. Immediately after discovering the infant, investigators started looking for the baby's family and soon learned the four relatives had not been seen since the night before, Goodman said. Then a relative called 911 after finding two vehicles in a remote area. The four bodies were found in nearby woods, Goodman said. All four victims had been killed, Goodman said, but he declined to say how. Authorities did not name the infant, but an obituary for Wilson says he is survived by his daughter, Weslynne Wilson. An attorney who represented Drummond in his case as a teenager did not immediately return a message requesting a comment. A telephone listing for Drummond could not be found. ___

TV union and women's group call for this year's MasterChef to be shelved
The BBC is facing mounting pressure to scrap this year's series of MasterChef after the sacking of presenters Gregg Wallace and John Torode. The heads of the broadcast union Bectu and a leading women's rights organisation have joined those calling for the series to be shelved, arguing that it would cause distress to the people who had made complaints about the two men. Last week the BBC said it would broadcast a series of MasterChef featuring Wallace and Torode, which was filmed before the presenters were dropped after allegations about their behaviour were upheld. The corporation said it was not 'an easy decision', but argued that it was the 'right thing to do' for the amateur chefs who had taken part, adding that the show's producers had spoken to contestants about airing the programme. But on Friday the head of the Broadcasting, Entertainment, Communications and Theatre Union, Philippa Childs, said the BBC should reconsider its decision. 'Whilst the BBC claims that it has consulted with contestants there appears to have been no consultation with complainants; freelancers who have taken the very difficult step of speaking out and who will legitimately feel distressed,' she told BBC News. 'If [the BBC] are serious about addressing this industry-wide problem, broadcasters should not reward bad behaviour with primetime coverage.' Penny East, the chief executive of the Fawcett Society, suggested it would be better to edit the presenters out entirely. 'Seeing Gregg Wallace on our screens will be deeply uncomfortable for many people, not least the brave women who have spoken about his appalling behaviour,' she said. 'It can't be right that men who sexually harass women continue to be given a platform and allowed to maintain their profile and power.' Wallace was dropped by the BBC after an independent report substantiated 45 allegations made against him, including claims of inappropriate sexual language and one incident of unwelcome physical contact. He has apologised 'for any distress caused' and said the report cleared him of 'the most serious and sensational accusations'. Torode was dropped as a presenter after he said he was the subject of a substantiated complaint over the use of racist language, which he believes never happened. On Thursday the Guardian revealed that one of the contestants from the latest series of MasterChef has been edited out of the programme, after telling its producers she did not want the show to be broadcast. Sarah Shafi, from Leeds, said she told the show's producers that airing it would send the wrong message about the treatment of women. She said she initially rejected an offer by MasterChef's producers, Banijay, to edit her out of her episode. The 57-year-old agreed to be removed once the BBC announced it had decided to broadcast the series from 6 August. 'I didn't say edit me out,' she said. 'I said: 'Axe the show, don't air the show. I'm asking you not to air the show.' Prominent figures have been abusing their power. What message does that send out to women?' One former MasterChef worker who said she had been groped by Wallace told BBC News the decision to broadcast the series showed 'a blatant disregard for the people who have come forward'. Another person who worked on the show, and who said Wallace pulled his trousers down in front of her, said the decision to air the series was 'profoundly disrespectful' to people who had made complaints. 'It ultimately sends a message that such behaviour can be overlooked,' she said.
