Three men were stabbed to death in London on Sunday night in what police reportedly believe was a clash between a group of Sikh men. Police said two men aged 29 and 30 have been arrested on suspicion of murder, adding that the suspects and victims were known to each other.

Police have cordoned off the area around the attack which was near Seven Kings tube station in Ilford in the east of the capital.

A police tent could be seen at the site of the stabbings, and blood on the ground nearby.

Terrorism has been ruled out as a motive, police said, and relatives of the victims were still being contacted.
