Eight teenagers, including two girls, have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 16-year-old boy was stabbed to death. The group – whose ages ranged from 15 and 17 – were taken into custody last night after police were called to a house in Bath, northeast Somerset, at 11.30pm.
A 35-year-old woman was also stabbed in the same incident and was taken to the Royal United Hospital for treatment. She has since been discharged. Avon and Somerset Constabulary said a “significant police presence” remained in Eastfield Avenue – where the stabbings happened – as it continues its investigations. All of the suspects remained in custody this afternoon.
