Milton Keynes stabbings: Two teenagers killed at 'party' | |
(about 3 hours later) | |
Two 17-year-old boys have been stabbed to death in Milton Keynes. | |
Police and paramedics were called to a house in Archford Croft in the Emerson Valley area just before midnight on Saturday. | |
Neighbours said the stabbings were related to a house party being held for a teenage girl. | |
One of the teenagers died at the scene and the other died in hospital. Thames Valley Police said no arrests had been made in the double murder inquiry. | |
Two men were also hurt and were taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries, the force said. | |
Officers remain at the scene, which is on a cul-de-sac in a housing estate. | Officers remain at the scene, which is on a cul-de-sac in a housing estate. |
Stains of what appeared to be blood could be seen on the front door of a house inside the police cordon. | |
Neighbour Suzzy Teye said she believed the gathering was a party for a teenage girl living in the house, while others said a birthday banner had been hanging at the door earlier in the evening. | |
Mrs Teye saw police cars and ambulances at the scene after being woken by her husband during the night. | |
"I was so terrified," she said. "I've never seen such a scene until today." | |
Another neighbour, who lives in an adjacent cul-de-sac, said: "This gang of kids have been hanging around Archford Croft, it's all gang-related. | |
"We do know that there was a house party at the time, not here but another part of Emerson. | |
"I think it's just because there was a house party and then the trouble started from there." | |
Det Ch Supt Ian Hunter appealed for "anyone who has any information which could help with our inquiries or anyone who witnessed any suspicious activity" to come forward. | |
"Thames Valley Police is in the early stages of a double murder investigation after two teenage boys have tragically died in this shocking incident," he said. | |
"Even if you think details may be insignificant, please come forward and speak to police." | "Even if you think details may be insignificant, please come forward and speak to police." |
