Two knife deaths in three hours Four stabbed to death on same day
(about 2 hours later)
Two men in their 20s have been stabbed to death within three hours of each other and just three miles apart. Four men, including a teenager, were stabbed to death on the same day in separate attacks in London.
The first man was attacked in Downsell Road, Leyton, east London, at about 1730 BST on Thursday. Four people have been arrested in connection with death. About three hours later police were called to St David's Court in Walthamstow where a man with a fatal stab wound was found. A 19-year-old youth, who has not been named, suffered multiple stab wounds in Edmonton, north London.
A police spokesman said the two deaths were not being linked at this stage. Later on Thursday two men in their 20s were killed in attacks in Leyton and Walthamstow, east London.
No-one has been arrested in connection with the Walthamstow stabbing. A man in his 40s died from stab wounds after being found at the back of a disused pub in Tottenham High Street, Tottenham, north London.
Formal identifications and post-mortems are due to take place on both bodies later. A man and a woman are being held over the stabbing in Edmonton while four people have been arrested in connection with the attack in Leyton.
