The man suspected of murdering PC Yvonne Fletcher outside the Libyan embassy in London in 1984 has been arrested by rebel forces in the country and is in custody in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi.

Campaigners welcomed the arrest and expressed the hope that Omar Ahmed Sodani would face trial in Britain.

Sodani, a prominent figure in Muammar Gaddafi's regime who acknowledges that he was working in the embassy at the time of the shooting, insisted he had not killed 25-year-old Fletcher.

4. Can remember that day clear as yesterday

One of our salesmen had an appointment there in St James Square to sell them a photocopier at almost the exact time of the killing.

The appointment was for 10 o'clock : she was shot at 10.18am. He overslept and didn't make it.
