The mother of a Syrian refugee detained over the Parsons Green bombing suffered a heart attack after hearing of her son's arrest, his employer said.

Aladdins Fried Chicken, in Hounslow, demanded a "fully unreserved apology" from the Metropolitan Police, accusing the force of labelling Yahyah Farroukh "a terrorist to the world".

The 21-year-old was released without charge on yesterday and his mother is said to remain in a critical condition in a hospital in Egypt after collapsing from shock.

Aladdins boss Suleman Sarwar said the takeaway had received "abuse, threats, anger, and hatred" after Mr Farroukh was swooped on by undercover detectives after finishing his shift last Saturday night.

He said: "The investigation brought Yahyah, his friends, family, place of employment and the wider Muslim community under scrutiny and indignity.

"Once again, the community has received backlash and animosity from the public."

The UK's counter-terrorism effort is putting an unsustainable strain on policing, the head of the National Police Chiefs' Council has said.

Chief Constable Sara Thornton said resources were being diverted from mainstream policing in England and Wales, leading to backlogs in control rooms and slower response times.

"This puts extra strain on an already-stretched service," she added.

The Home Office said it was working with police on the demands they faced.

A 40-year-old man and 34-year-old woman have been charged with murder after the discovery of a badly burned body in a garden.

Ouissem Medouni and Sabrina Kouider, both of Pulborough Road, Wandsworth, are due before magistrates in Wimbledon later.

Police have been unable to tell the age or gender of the deceased person because the remains were so charred.

The body was discovered in the back garden of a house in Southfields, south-west London, on Wednesday afternoon.

Four moped riders robbed two women of their gold necklaces at knife point in Thornton Heath on Wednesday afternoon.

The women, aged in their 60s, were approached by the men who were on two mopeds in Bensham Manor Road at about 15:10 BST.

The pillion passengers got off the bikes, threatened the victims with a blade and then snatched four gold chains from their necks.

A man aged in his 70s tried to intervene but was thrown to the ground by one of the men who then rode off towards White Horse Road.

Scotland Yard said there have been no arrests and have appealed for witnesses to contact them.
