Police release man held over French student murders

LONDON (Reuters) - Police released without charge on Sunday a 21-year-old man arrested in connection with the murder of two French students who were killed a week ago in a frenzied knife attack in a south London apartment which was then set ablaze.

"He has been released with no further action," a police spokesman said.

Bio-engineering students Laurent Bonomo and Gabriel Ferez, both 23, were bound, gagged and stabbed over 200 times in Bonomo's apartment in what police said was one of the most "frenzied, brutal and horrific" murders they had seen.
