A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a fatally stabbing a Zimbabwean man Tafadzwa Khan during a party at the home of former boxing world champion Herbie Hide.

He is thought to have been knifed in front of several witnesses during a row in a bar area beside the indoor swimming pool at the luxury home.
He is then believed to have staggered outside with at least one knife wound to his abdomen and collapsed on a patio area.
Paramedics found Mr Khan unresponsive when they arrived and tried to revive him, but he was pronounced dead at the scene at 12.44am.
Police say the victim died from single stab wound, but had multiple injuries.
Police received a 999 call at 12.07am on Sunday to say that a man had either been shot or stabbed at the five-bedroom home, which also has its own gym and disco area.
Scenes of crime officers launched a forensic search of the house as daylight broke and the property was sealed off while officers scoured the scene for evidence.
Detective Superintendent Julian Gregory, from the joint Norfolk and Suffolk Major Investigation Team, said: "We are in the early stages of our investigation and working to establish the sequence of events which led to this man's death.
"Police family liaison officers have been assigned to work with next-of-kin.
"A large number of people are known to have been present at the property at the time and while we continue our efforts to identify and speak to all party goers.
"I would urge anyone who left the scene before speaking to police to contact Norfolk Constabulary as soon as possible on 101."
Det Supt Gregory confirmed that a police armed response team was initially sent to the house because of fears that firearms were involved.
Det Supt Gregory said the cause of the argument at the party was still 'unclear'. He declined to say if a weapon had been recovered.
