Two Dead and One Injured After Late-Night Horror in Brentwood
Police sprang into action at around 1.30am after multiple calls flooded in from Regency Court — including from ambulance crews. When officers arrived, they found three people injured. Sadly, despite desperate efforts by paramedics, two of the victims have now died.
Specialist officers are supporting the families of the deceased as a forensic post-mortem is set to uncover the exact cause of death. The third victim is stable, suffering injuries described as neither life-threatening nor life-changing.
