Muslim-on-Muslim violence in London mosque

Detectives are searching for the motive that led to the killing of a blind imam inside a mosque in north London. Maimoun Zarzour, 39, an imam at Muslim Welfare House in Finsbury Park, north London, was found dead in his office at the mosque. Mosque officials believe that Zarzour may have been strangled. Police and mosque officials said that they did not think the killing was a hate crime. Shortly after Zarzour's body was found, a man gave himself up to police and is the prime suspect. He is believed to be Muslim, and to have asked for an appointment to see Zarzour after early morning prayers, suggesting that he was known at the mosque. Muslim Welfare House is one of two mosques in the Finsbury Park area.
