LONDON (Reuters) - Police arrested a man on Tuesday in connection with three "racist" arson attacks on shops in south London that have left one man dead.

"Detectives have a arrested a 33-year-old man from the Stockwell area in connection with the murder of Khizar Hayat and the linked arson attacks," the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

On Sunday, police said they wanted to speak to a black man in his early thirties over the fire bombing of three Asian-run shops.

Scotland Yard has said they considered the three attacks to be linked and that they were thought to be racially motivated.

The attacks all occurred in the last three weeks, with the third in Clapham Road on Thursday, April 27 resulting in Hayat's death.

He was unable to get out of the store as the back door was locked and was declared dead on arrival at hospital.

Police said the three attacks occurred in daylight hours when firebombs were thrown into the front of the premises.
