A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 63-year-old man was stabbed to death in London.

Police were called to an address in Walworth in the south-east of the city on Friday afternoon.

Officers found the victim injured but he was pronounced dead at the scene in Madron Street at 2.14pm.

A 67-year-old man was arrested later in the Denmark Hill area and remains in custody.

Scotland Yard said formal identification was yet to take place, but the victim’s next of kin have been informed and a postmortem would be carried out in due course.
