Homicide detectives are hunting for answers after three men were found fatally stabbed in Redbridge on Sunday night.
Emergency services were scrambled to Salisbury Road, Seven Kings, at 7.30pm on 19 January following reports of a disturbance. Officers and paramedics arrived to discover three men, aged late 20s to early 30s, with stab wounds. Sadly, all three died at the scene.
Suspects in Custody as Police Probe Motivation
