Man quizzed over murder of human rights lawyer
18 Mar 2010A man was being questioned today about the murder of a human rights lawyer found stabbed at his home.
Abdelsalam Hassan Abdelsalam, 56, was found by a neighbour in Lee, south-east London on March 13.
The Met police said a 28-year-old was arrested last night on suspicion of murder and burglary.
The suspect, who has not been identified, is in custody at a south London police station.
Mr Abdelsalam, originally from Sudan and who worked for Redress, a charity helping torture victims, was discovered lying just inside his open front door. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A post mortem examination found the lawyer's cause of death was blood loss from a stab wound to the leg.
