Police investigating the murder of a grandad killed at home in Bedfordshire have arrested an 18 year old man.

Sharif Demirsay, 65, (right) was killed at his home in Kempston at 9.30pm on Tuesday 14 May 2013 by three men wielding knives who stole cash and jewellery from his 68 year old partner who also suffered knife injuries to her arm as she bravely tried to defend him.

Police went to an address in Kempston and arrested the 18 year old on suspicion of murder.

"For the sake of his family and the wider community, I urge you to be brave and come forward if you can help. The people responsible for this murder must be brought to justice.”
