Riot police arrest murder suspect

Victim Trevor Ellis, 26, of Brixton Hill, south London, was found at about 9.20pm on Monday in a vehicle in Duppas Hill Road at its junction with Warrington Road, police said.

The father of four was taken to St George’s Hospital with a gunshot wound to his head, and was pronounced dead on August 9, police said.

Late last night, officers carried out an “armed operation” in Camberwell, south-east London, and arrested the 24-year-old man on suspicion of murder, they added.

Det Chief Insp Neil Hutchison of Operation Trident, which deals with gun crime in the black community, said he believed Mr Ellis’s killers were involved in looting during the disorder seen in Croydon last week.
