Two Bradford teenagers have been arrested as investigations continue into the murder of a pizza restaurant owner.

Police say an 18-year-old from East Bowling and another youth have been bailed to appear at Brixton police station in June.

Detective Inspector Cliff Davies, of the Metropolitan Police, confirmed that the pair had been arrested and released on police bail pending further inquiries.

He said the probe into the killing of 22-year-old-businessman Rasminkant Patel in October 1997 continues.

Mr Patel was killed at a pizza restaurant in Lewisham, South London. His body was put into a wheelie bin and driven to Bradford where it was burned and dismembered.

Mr Patel's business partner Ali Shah, of Walthamstow, East London, was jailed for life for his murder at the Old Bailey last September.

Shah's cousin Asghar Shah, 18, of Barnard Road, East Bowling, was found guilty of helping to dispose of the corpse and was sentenced to 15 months in a young offenders' institution.

Asghar Shah's identical twin Akbar was acquitted of perverting the course of justice.
