A MAN is still be interviewed in connection with Thursday's brutal murder of a cabbie.

The man, aged 21, who has not been named, was arrested in Blackburn on Tuesday morning.

Detectives are also seeking a second Bury man, aged 29, who is also wanted in connection with the racial killing of Tariq Javed.

The cabbie died from crush injuries when he was dragged from his private hire taxi, beaten and then run over by his own Toyota Carina.

Detectives say Mr Javed, aged 48, of Richard Burch Street, Walmersley, was attacked by a least two men who were part of a group of five who had been in the taxi. The vehicle was later found burning in the grounds of Fairfield General Hospital.

Mr Javed's murder sparked a weekend of unrest in the town centre as fellow taxi drivers demanded more police protection.
