Det Ch Supt Stuart McKenzie said: "We continue to make significant progress in this investigation." Two men, aged 39 and 35, arrested on Wednesday remain in custody as police continued their appeal for witnesses. Det Ch Supt McKenzie, senior investigating officer, said: "Despite this progress, and the third arrest, we are still very much appealing for information. "There are still people out there with information on this brutal murder and my message to them is simple - please come forward for Aamir, for his family and to ensure justice is done." 'Respected and missed' Ch Supt Bob Tooby, divisional commander for Cardiff, added: "A football match held yesterday evening in honour of Aamir was extremely well-attended which shows how loved, respected and missed he is by family, friends, and the wider community. "My sincere thanks to all those who have already spoken to officers - the support we are having from the community is fantastic and is very much appreciated. Please keep the information coming into the incident room." South Wales Police earlier sealed off a takeaway restaurant in Cardiff while they search a flat above.
