Detectives have until midday to question a man over the murder of three men killed in an apparent hit-and-run during rioting in Birmingham.
Haroon Jahan, 21, was killed alongside Shazad Ali, 30, and Abdul Musavir, 31, after being hit by a car in Winson Green, Birmingham, as they tried to protect a petrol station and nearby stores, on Tuesday night.
West Midlands Police said that detectives have until midday to question a 32-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder, after they were granted a superintendent's extension.
On Wednesday night, hundreds of mourners gathered for a candlelit vigil close to the scene of where the three friends were killed.
Mr Jahan's father Tariq Jahan appealed for calm in the wake of the death of his son and two friends. He also called for there to be no revenge for his son's death and for the law to be allowed to take its course.
"Tensions are already high in the area. It's already bad enough what we are seeing on the streets now without other people taking the law into their own hands," he said.
Prime Minister David Cameron, who visited Birmingham in the wake of the tragedy, described the deaths as "truly dreadful".
Those killed in Winson Green were part of a group of around 80 people guarding shops. After their deaths, it emerged that Mr Jahan attempted to revive his son after running to the scene from his nearby home as the car sped away.
A family friend of brothers Shazad and Abdul, who owned and worked at a car wash, said Shazad, who had a degree in business management from the University of Central England, was standing near the petrol station with his brother when they were hit. Eyewitnesses estimated the car was travelling at around 50mph.
West Midlands Police Chief Constable Chris Sims urged everyone to act calmly following the three deaths. He said: "If we are calm, I'm absolutely confident that the people of the West Midlands can get through this... and that we can rebuild trust between communities
