New research has found that while 85% of British men say their friends are some of the most important people in their lives, 62% have never told a mate they love them and 90% admit to never talking about anything serious.

So to address this, Beavertown - who commissioned the research - has partnered with suicide prevention charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) to launch ‘Tell a Mate Why You Love Them’.

The Metropolitan Police were called by London Fire Brigade to a multi-occupancy house in Glenister Park Road, Streatham, shortly after 7pm on Sunday, where they found a 49-year-old man dead inside.

On Monday a 34-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of murder and arson with intent to endanger life.

She remains in custody at a south London police station.

The man’s next of kin have been informed and are being supported by family liaison officers.

Police have appealed for witnesses and said they are treating it as an isolated incident.
