Victims Named in Gruesome Christmas Day Stabbing
Police are probing a brutal double murder after a knife rampage on Christmas Day claimed the lives of two women and a family dog in Bletchley, near Milton Keynes.
The known victims include 24-year-old railway worker Teohna Grant, who lived at the scene of the attack. A 38-year-old woman, yet to be named, also died in the shocking incident. Two others—a 17-year-old boy and a man in his twenties—are in hospital with serious injuries.
The family’s white pit bull was also savagely injured. Neighbours saw the dog limping, covered in blood, before it tragically died at a vet’s clinic.

The horror erupted just after 6.30pm in a block of flats on Christmas Day. Neighbours heard screams and saw one victim yelling from a balcony, gasping she couldn’t breathe.
“I heard screaming and saw a boy outside covered in blood, saying, ‘I’ve been stabbed.’ He had chest and head wounds. Another woman screamed for help on the balcony. The attacker ran, jumped in a car, and drove off, but police caught him within seconds,” a witness told MailOnline.
A 49-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. Police confirmed all involved knew each other and are not hunting additional suspects.
