A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman was fatally wounded in a triple stabbing in Manchester, England.
The woman (43) died at the scene and a girl (17) and man (64) are in hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.
Greater Manchester police said a man (22) had been arrested and the “early indications” were he was known to the victims. Police said the stabbing in the Gorton area of east Manchester was being treated as an isolated incident.
Armed officers were among those sent to an address on Barnard Road at about 11.20pm on Sunday.

Our thoughts remain with those affected and their loved ones at this difficult time. We are doing all we can to support them.
