ARMED POLICE STORM CENTRE AFTER TWO STABBED

Police are investigating the 'unexplained and sudden' death of a 10 year-old boy at his home. Paramedics were called to a property in Ilfracombe, Devon near the town's Lidl supermarket around 7am today. (Monday) Half an hour later they called police confirming the "sudden death" of the youngster, who has not been named. Devon and Cornwall police launched an investigation and said the death was being treated as "unexplained". Officers have not confirmed the boy's exact address but say the child's family have been informed.

Armed police stormed a mental health centre and arrested knifeman in his pants after two men were stabbed.

One man was stabbed in his chest, stomach and arm, with the other was stabbed in the arm, leg, chest and stomach.

A witness said the suspect was led out of the Bracton Centre in Dartford “in his pants, handcuffed and surrounded by armed police” on Sunday morning.

His victims “received serious injuries consistent with a stabbing” and were taken to King’s College Hospital by air ambulance.

Firefighters were also called at the same time to a fire in the building and it was brought under control within half an hour.

Three fire engines responded to the 999 call and used a pressure fan to clear the smoke.

Investigators are examining the cause of the fire at the centre run by Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust and whether it was related to the stabbings.

The knifeman has been remanded in custody, and police are not looking for anyone else.
