In Birmingham, a murder investigation has been launched after two men were killed and one critically injured in a suspected hit-and-run incident, West Midlands Police said, reports the bbc.co.uk. It is not known if the deaths are linked to overnight rioting but early reports say the men had just come out of a mosque and were protecting their neighbourhood. A third man is in a critical condition. Police have arrested a man and recovered a vehicle from the scene. A murder inquiry has been launched.

So far 563 arrests have been made across the UK and the Met Police decision to flood London streets with 16,000 officers - many drafted in from other forces - appears to have worked.
