DETECTIVES probing the murder of a young dad have made an arrest.

Reece Newcombe, 31, was stabbed in the early hours of Saturday.

A 32-year-old man went to a police station yesterday and was arrested on suspicion of murder.

Mr Newcombe, from Egham, Surrey, worked as a boxing trainer to stars including Ian Wright.

An online appeal for funds for his baby daughter has already raised more than £50,000.

He was stabbed with a shard of glass on Richmond Bridge in South West London. Detectives believe a number of people filmed it on their phones.

Police said: “Anyone who has yet to speak with us is urged to come forward immediatel­y.”
