Police have arrested five men in connection with the murder of Alisan Dogan after an early morning raid in north London.

Officers from Haringey and the Serious Crime Group East working with immigration officials raided two commercial premises in Grand Parade and a residential address in Trafalgar Avenue about 6.20am.

The father of two was stabbed to death after armed fighting broke out between a group of 40 men in Portland Gardens, Green Lanes, on November 9.

Of the five men detained, four were arrested on suspicion of murder and one for immigration offences. They remain in custody at police stations in east and north London.
