A BABY girl and three-year-old boy were stabbed to death in a horrific attack at a home in East London today.
A 40-year-old man was left critically injured at the scene and police said they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the stabbings.
Cops were called to reports of a man and two children injured at a home in Aldborough Road North, London, at 5:30pm today.
It is believed that everyone involved knew each other.
A one-year-old girl was pronounced dead at the scene, while a three-year-old boy died after being taken to hospital.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police told the Sun Online: “A one-year-old girl was pronounced dead at the scene.
“A three-year-old boy was taken to hospital for treatment but subsequently died.
“A 40-year-old man has been taken hospital for treatment; condition awaits.
“All three suffered knife injuries.
“It is believed all parties involved are known to each other.
“At this early stage, police are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident.”
Leader of Redbridge London Borough Council, Jas Athwal, tweeted this evening: “Earlier today there was an incident in Ilford. Two young children have passed away & an investigation is ongoing.
“My thoughts are with the family and wider community who are grieving this unspeakable tragedy.”
London’s Air Ambulance was sent to the stabbings along with three ambulance crews, two medics in fast response cars, an advanced paramedic and two incident response officers.
