Ashley Cole: Jay-Z deal.

A businessman and friend to the stars has been arrested on suspicion of murder, sources said.

Chris Nathaniel, who owns the NVA Entertainment Group, was arrested along with a 33-year-old friend when they landed at Heathrow Airport.

Nathaniel, 35, is an entertainments guru whose firm represents stars in sports, music, fashion and film and was involved in tying up a deal with footballer Ashley Cole to help bring American rapper Jay-Z’s 40/40 restaurant and bar franchise to London.

He also has business connections with England captain John Terry and the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt.

He was arrested and bailed over the murder of Danny O’Shea, 18, who was fatally stabbed in the neck in Gill Avenue, Canning Town, east London, on December 2 last year.
