A Met spokesperson said, “It’s not always possible to charge someone immediately after arrest as there is often further evidence to gather to build a case to the required evidential standard.
“There is no mechanism to hold a person in custody for an extended period prior to charge… We acknowledge that in this case, the investigation has taken longer than we would ideally have wanted.”

The girl was allegedly raped by Ahmad Mulakhil, 23 on 22 July in Cheverel Street and Mohammad Kabir, also 23, was charged with strangulation, kidnap and aiding and abetting the rape on 31 July of a young girl.
They will attend Warwick Crown Court on 26 August and they remain in custody.
The Mail was informed that Warwickshire Police told councillors and local officials not to reveal that they are asylum seekers as they fear there could be protests with fears of “community tensions.”
A source said, “They’re [the police] hushing it up because they don’t want an Epping situation on their hands.”
