Ex-lover’s arrest ‘foiled three murders’

Detectives who arrested a former financial worker who orchestrated a campaign of harassment against a doctor believe they prevented him committing three murders.

Canadian Al Amin Dhalla, 42, acquired a number of weapons, a modified van with a cage and other equipment after he was jilted by a woman he met online.

Dhalla moved into the home of Dr Alison Hewitt, 35, in Brighton, East Sussex, months after they met through an online dating agency for professionals.
