Almost half of murder victims - as well as suspects - were black despite the ethnic group accounting for just 13% of London's population. White people in London make up 60% of the population, but only account for 35% of murder victims and 24% of murder suspects.
Nationally, 3% of the population is black, 5% of murder victims are black and 13% of murder suspects are black. White people make up 86% of the country, 89% of the UK's murder victims and 81% of its murder suspects.

Again, no-one is saying that that I'm aware of, and I'd be interesting to see the links that you've found that says that.
