Detectives investigating the murder of Reece Newcombe on Richmond Bridge have made an arrest.

On the afternoon of Monday, 28 November, a 32-year-old man attended a west London police station where he was arrested on suspicion of murder.

The man remains in police custody.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Police were called at around 04:00hrs on Saturday, 26 November to a fight on Richmond Bridge.

"Officers attended and found 31-year-old Reece Newcombe from Egham suffering critical injuries. He had been stabbed with what we believe to be a piece of broken glass.

"Officers administered CPR prior to the arrival of paramedics before Reece was taken to hospital. Despite the efforts of all involved, he died later in the morning."

Detective Chief Inspector Katherine Goodwin is leading the investigation. She said: "Anyone who has yet to speak with police is urged to come forward immediately.

"We believe a number of people watched the incident unfold and some onlookers may have recorded footage on their mobile phones. I need to hear from all of these people."
