An alleged gang member wanted over the fatal stabbing of a young man in London has been arrested near Barcelona following an international manhunt.

Spanish police detained the fugitive at the request of UK authorities and said that he belonged to the notorious Latin gang Trinitarios.

The unnamed detainee, wanted in connection with the death of 21-year-old Giovanny Rendon Bedoya in Walworth, south London, on April 14, was arrested as he entered a restaurant in the town of Sabadell around 15 miles north-west of Barcelona.

He now faces extradition to the UK and a possible 'life sentence,' according to Spanish authorities.

MailOnline has approached Metropolitan Police for comment.
