Five boys, believed to be aged 13 and 14, have been arrested on suspicion of murdering a 52-year-old man after a row in north London.

Police found the man stabbed at his home in The Broadway in Edmonton at about 19:50 GMT on Sunday.
Officers suspect there was a "verbal altercation" between the victim and a group of boys trying to get into to a party in a block of flats.
Formal identification of the victim has not yet taken place.
Detectives believe the victim had been involved in an argument with a group of boys, aged in their mid-teens, as he attempted to get into the apartment block.
Det Ch Insp Neale Baldock said: "Our initial enquiries have established there was a supervised party taking place at another address within the block and the group of males were trying to gain access to this.
"The victim and this group were not known to each other. What started as a minor verbal altercation has escalated into a shocking act of violence.
