Three people in custody after lady in north London was fatally stabbed

After a lady was fatally stabbed in Wembley yesterday, three persons have been taken into custody.

Yesterday at around 6 o’clock, officers discovered a 23-year-old guy in Harrow who they had previously identified publicly.

He was detained at a police station in north London after being apprehended on suspicion of murder.

Police were contacted yesterday at 10am regarding reports of a stabbing at a residence in Neeld Crescent, Wembley, and an investigation was started.

Officers attended along with the London Ambulance Service and two women were treated for stab injuries.

Despite the efforts of emergency services, a 27-year-old woman sadly died at the scene. Her next of kin are yet to be informed.

A second woman, aged 28, was taken to hospital with stab injuries that were later assessed as not life-threatening.
