Six people have been arrested in connection with the vicious murder of a gay barman on the South Bank.
Police believe 37-year-old David Morley was beaten to death by a gang targeting homosexuals.
Today detectives seized six people in south London, where they are now quizzed at various police stations. Scotland Yard declined to reveal their sex or ages "for operational reasons".
Mr Morley survived the anti-gay Soho nail-bomb while he worked as a barman in the Admiral Duncan pub. But late on Saturday night a mob savagely attacked him and a friend near Hungerford Bridge on the South Bank. He died later in hospital, suffering over 40 bruises.
Tomorrow friends and relatives are to hold a candle-lit vigil through London to mourn his death. The procession will leave the Admiral Duncan pub at 6.30pm, calling at St Anne's Church in Wardour Street on the way to the spot where Mr Morley was murdered.
