Detectives investigating a hit-and-run in Enfield in which a 36-year-old man was killed have made an arrest.

IT consultant Andrew Lindup was struck down on December 15 while walking on Holtwhites Hill at around 7.20am.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

On Friday, Scotland Yard said a 24-year-old was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and failing to stop at the scene of a collision.

The man attended a police station after a vehicle was recovered in Edmonton on Thursday.

He has been bailed to return on a date in April.

Mr Lindup, who is originally from Solihull, was described as being “instantly loved by everyone he met” in a heartbreaking tribute issued from his family.

Islington Council also paid tribute to their former employee who helped launch the council's new website and led the creation of IslingtonLife online site.

Head of digital customer service and development Paul Savage said: “I think I speak for everyone when I say that Andy was universally liked and a much-loved friend to many.

"Friendly, creative and funny, Andy was one of those people who seemed to know and get on with everyone. We will all miss him tremendously and send our heartfelt sympathy and support to his family and friends at this sad time.”

Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses.
