London - Detectives investigating the death of a costume designer who was killed after she was mugged at a railway station in London were yesterday granted a further 36 hours to question a man and a woman, Rachel Donnelly reports.
A magistrate granted police the extension to question a 35-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman. They were arrested at an address in West Hampstead in north London in the early hours of Thursday. Officers from a north London murder squad are questioning the two people about the death of Ms Liz Sherlock (42). She was sitting with her husband, Peter (48), in a coffee shop at Euston station waiting to take a train to Lancashire on Easter Monday when a man snatched her handbag. Ms Sherlock ended up clinging to the bonnet of a car in a nearby street, but she lost her grip and fell under the wheels of the car. She died from her injuries in hospital.
