Home owner Heath was "friend of Reggie Kray"
Roy Heath, who lived at the house in Alderville Road, Parsons Green, where a body has been discovered buried in the garden, is reported to have once worked for the notorious Kray Twins.
Heath, who is suffering from terminal cancer, was arrested on Tuesday and bailed to return at the end of the month.
Police have also made two further arrests following Wednesday's discovery of the body, which was wrapped in carpet.
Their latest statement says that on the afternoon of March 10, two men aged 47 and 52 were arrested and taken into custody.
Police had already arrested Heath, 52 at a hospice in Lambeth where he is receiving treatment. He was bailed to return at the end of March pending further enquiries.
Heath reportedly became friendly with notorious gangland killer Reggie Kray after meeting him in prison, and also worked for Kray and his twin brother Ronnie.
According to The Sun, police were told in 1997 that Heath had murdered a business partner, but nothing could be proved at the time.
A post-mortem will be held at Fulham mortuary on Friday March 12.
An incident room has opened at Belgravia under DI Tim Dobson of the Homicide and Serious Crime Squad. DI Dobson says: "It is believed that the body may have been at the scene between 15 and 20 years. Whilst enquiries are underway to establish the identity of this person, we are keen to speak to anyone who may have lived in this road around that time.
"If you have any information please contact us."
Anyone with information is asked to call the Incident Room on 020 7321 9251; if you wish to remain anonymous please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
