A pensioner has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 63-year-old man was stabbed to death in south-east London.

Police were called to an address near Old Kent Road in Walworth on Friday afternoon.

Officers found the victim injured and he was pronounced dead at the scene in Madron Street at 2.14pm.

A 67-year-old man was arrested later in the Denmark Hill area and remains in custody.

Scotland Yard said formal identification is yet to take place but the victim's next-of-kin have been informed.

A post-mortem examination will be held in due course, the Met added.

The force said they are not currently looking for anyone else in relation to the investigation.
