A Norwich neighbourhood has been rocked by a triple stabbing which saw a woman and two young girls taken to hospital.Police later arrested a 28-year-old Norfolk man on South Beach Parade in Great Yarmouth and are now hunting for a knife in the seaside town that could prove crucial to the investigation.
Emergency services were called to a flat in Mill Close, Lakenham, at around 12.30pm yesterday and found the injured woman, named locally as Victoria Meek, and the two children, who are believed to be her daughters.
The three are thought to live in the upstairs flat of a semi-detached house which remained cordoned off late last night, although the original larger cordon that had prevented other residents from parking cars earlier in the day had been reduced to just blocking access to the property.
Police confirmed a 23-year-old woman and a three-year-old girl involved in the stabbings were in a critical but stable condition at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and a six-year-old girl was in a stable condition and has now been transferred to Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge.
Det Chief Insp Rickie Botwright, from Norfolk police’s vulnerable people unit, said: “This appears to be an isolated incident involving people known to one another. We are currently trying to establish the exact details surrounding this incident. At this time our investigations are ongoing.” Read More
