Suspect's DNA | |
The light-coloured car, recovered on 30 November, had been caught on CCTV near Mrs Patel-Nasri's home at the time of the murder. | |
The suspects, the first people arrested over the murder, are in custody at separate London police stations. | |
Mrs Patel-Nasri and husband Fadi had been out celebrating their wedding anniversary in the hours prior to the attack. | |
She was in her nightclothes at home alone when she was stabbed in the leg. | |
The murder weapon, which was recovered by police shortly afterwards, was found to contain the DNA of her suspected attacker. | |
It is still unclear if Mrs Patel-Nasri was alerted by noises outside her home in Sudbury Avenue, or if she found someone inside her house. | |
Officers are keeping an open mind about the motive for the killing. | |
Mrs Nasri was a hairdresser by profession, but had been a special constable - a part time volunteer police officer - for three years. | |
A £30,000 reward has been offered by Crimestoppers to help catch her killers. |
