ARRESTED IN NISHA PATEL-NASRI MURDER
Indo-Asian News Service (28 February 2007)
The
Lebanese husband of a British Indian police special constable Nisha
Patel-Nasri has been arrested for her murder in May last year. Fadi
Nasri, 33, who runs a limousine business, was held on suspicion
of murder in north London Tuesday (27 February 2007), according
to local reports. His wife, special constable Nisha Patel Nasri,
died after being stabbed in the leg outside her home in Wembley
on May 11 2006.
The
motive for the attack is still not clear, although it was initially
thought to be a botched burglarly. It was reported that at the time
Nisha was alone in the house. Neighbours reported a disturbance
and heard Nisha scream out. A man wearing a hooded top was seen
to run south towards Sylvester Road. Nisha was given first aid by
a neighbour. Police attended and performed emergency aid before
the arrival of London Ambulance Service who then took her to Northwick
Park Hospital where she later died.
A missing
knife from Nisha's kitchen was later found after an extensive search
by Police. Following a high profile appeal, including a reward of
£10,000 offered by 'The Sun' newspaper, two men Tony Emmanuel,
41 and Jason Jones, 35, were charged with the murder.
Nisha,
who grew up in London, had been working as a special constable for
three-and-a-half years. The 29-year-old constable and her husband
were celebrating their wedding anniversary on the night of the attack.
