Arrests over grass's murder

DETECTIVES investigating the murder of a "supergrass" shot at his home have arrested three men at separate addresses in areas of Richmond and Hampton, London, and Sunbury, Surrey. James Lawson, shot at his home in Bow Field, Hook, became a "supergrass" nine years ago when he tipped off police about a Mafia plot to flood Britain with cocaine worth pounds 20m on the streets each week.
