A woman stabbed to death in the rush hour yesterday morning has been named by police as 45-year-old Alison Morrison.
Mrs Morrison is understood to have been on her way to work when she was set upon and knifed near her home in Harrow, north west London.
According to reports, her neighbour - satellite TV engineer Trevor Gibbon, 48, was arrested by police, and a large bloody kitchen knife was found nearby.
Neighbours reportedly claimed the pair had been locked in a bitter dispute over a shared driveway between their end-of-terrace houses.
Mrs Morrison is also said to have installed a bright security light which upset her neighbour, while Mr Gibbon had erected CCTV cameras on his home which caused animosity between the pair.
