'Reassurance'

On Tuesday, Assistant Commissioner of the Met, John Yates, who is in overall charge of the re-investigation, said: "The one consistent theme throughout has been the astonishing determination of the Morgan family to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice." In a statement, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said the case was last reviewed in 2003 but at that time it was not possible to advise prosecution.
"The current investigation has shown that there are still people out there who have highly pertinent evidence about this case." It said a file from the most recent investigation was received in June 2007 and reviewed by the service's special casework team.
He said the new arrests demonstrated "the Met's continued determination to bring those responsible to justice". Reviewing lawyer Stuart Sampson said: "There has been a great deal of speculation in relation to this killing but it is only recently that crucial witnesses have come forward to assist a prosecution.
He said: "I also hope that these arrests are a reassurance to those in the community who also have information or evidence about what happened to Daniel. "The CPS and police have been working together in order to ensure that there is a case which can be put before a jury with a realistic prospect of conviction."
"We have long said that within south London the identity of those responsible for the murder is one of the worst kept local secrets. I urge anyone with any information, however small, to get in touch with us," Mr Yates.
