Philip Herrington, the Rector of St Mary’s Church, West Horsley, describing the attack as “lamentable” when he visited Horsley station yesterday afternoon to lay flowers.

He told how officers he had spoken to were shocked by what they had seen, adding: “You don’t really expect anything like this to happen generally, not in a place like this, not on a midday train.”

Both suspects were still being questioned by detectives last night while a post-mortem examinatio­n is due to take place early next week.

More than 40 officers from British Transport Police were working alongside Surrey Police on the murder probe yesterday.

Officers from both forces were searching for the murder weapon between Horsley and Farnham, which had not been found last night.

A car was also removed from outside the flat in Farnham last night by the police.

DCI Blackburn said: “This is a fast-moving investigat­ion and I am pleased that we were able to arrest a man following a huge amount of police inquiries.

“In the moments leading to the violent killing, both men appeared to be involved in an altercatio­n lasting three minutes.

“Nothing justified the extraordin­ary violence that followed, and we are concentrat­ing our efforts on the ongoing investigat­ion.

“We are continuing our appeal for informatio­n and I would urge anyone who was on board the train to contact us as soon as possible.”
