UK police arrest murder suspect after 3 found dead in ‘horrific and tragic incident’ in Nottingham
- Three people were found dead on the street in the central English city of Nottingham and three others were in hospital after an attempt to run them over with a van
- A 31-year-old was arrested on suspicion of murder and was in police custody
British police said a man had been arrested on suspicion of murder after three people were found dead on the street in the central English city of Nottingham on Tuesday and three were injured after an attempt to run them over with a van.
Detectives said they had an open mind about the motive for the linked incidents, which began just after 4am (0300 GMT), and added that counterterrorism officers were working on the investigation, although they said this was normal.
A 31-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and detectives said they were not looking for anyone else.
The major operation, which led to many roads across Nottingham being closed, began after police were called to a report of two people being killed on a road in the city centre.
Officers were then alerted to another incident not far away where someone driving a van had tried to run over three people, leaving one man in a critical condition in hospital while the other two suffered minor injuries.
Another man was then found dead soon afterwards on a road about two miles from the first incident.
