Officers are particularly keen to speak with a man who flagged down officers in the area, just before Haroon was shot.

Detective Chief Inspector Jim Munro, from the force's homicide unit, said: "These arrests are a significant development as our investigation continues at pace.

"However, I still need anyone with information to get in touch as soon as possible.

"Haroon’s death is tragic, my thoughts are with his family and friends at this very sad time."

Haroon worked as a manager at a taxi firm. Tributes flooded in following his death, including from his cousin Shaz Saleem, who described Haroon as a "beautiful soul".
