LONDON, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Britain's most senior police officer said on Monday that London's homicide rate had fallen to its lowest for more than a decade, showing the city was becoming safer, despite remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump and others on violent crime in the capital.
Mark Rowley, commissioner of London's Metropolitan Police, said the homicide rate in London was at an all-time low on a per capita basis and the city was safer than Los Angeles and New York as well as many other European capitals.
