Suella Braverman has made a statement in the House of Commons on the fatal attacks in Nottingham that left three people dead. The home secretary confirmed that counter terror police are assisting with inquiries but this "does not mean that it is currently being treated as a terrorist attack".
It comes as Ian Coates was named as the third victim and tributes continued to flood in for the two teenage students named last night who were also fatally stabbed.
Academy site manager Mr Coates, who worked as part of LEAD Academy Trust, was described by Huntingdon Academy and Warren Academy’s executive headteacher as “a much-loved colleague who always went the extra mile".
