Couple Found Stabbed to Death in Thamesmead Horror
Grim Discovery on Holstein Way
Police found a man and woman dead inside a home in Thamesmead, South East London, on Tuesday afternoon. The victims were identified as 51-year-old Michelle Mileham and 53-year-old Gordon Mileham. Emergency crews forced their way into the house just before 3pm after concerns were raised over the occupants’ welfare.
Death Confirmed: Stab Wounds Fatal
Both Michelle and Gordon were found with serious stab wounds and pronounced dead at the scene. A post-mortem confirmed that stab injuries caused their deaths. Police have declared Michelle’s death a murder but say Gordon’s death is not suspicious. Authorities are currently not searching for anyone else in connection with the killings.
