Man Arrested On Suspicion Of Murdering Sergeant Matt Ratana

According to Sky News, a 23-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of Sergeant Matt Ratana, who lived in Goring.

The head coach at East Grinstead Rugby Club was shot at Croydon Custody Centre in the early hours of Friday 25 September.

He was taken to hospital but later died from his wounds.

A 23-year-old man, who had been arrested earlier in the evening for a separate offence and was detained by officers at the centre in Windmill Lane, also suffered an gunshot injury and was taken to hospital.

The Met Police confirmed his condition has since stabilised and is "no longer considered life-threatening".

A statement said:

"Therefore, on Friday 13 November, he was considered fit to be arrested on suspicion of murder.

"However, as the man remains in hospital, officers will liaise with the relevant medical and legal teams to make an assessment of when he will be fit for interview.

"Specialist family liaison officers from the Met's Specialist Crime Command are in regular contact with and supporting Matt's partner, his son and wider family. They have been informed of today's arrest."
