London's knife-crime epidemic continued this weekend with three fatal stabbings in the space of 24 hours.

The number of killings in the capital is now nearing its highest level in more than a decade, with 130 recorded this year, compared with 132 in 2018.

A 27-year-old man was stabbed to death and three men were wounded at a house party in Whitechapel, east London, on Saturday.

Seven men were arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder after police were called to a flat just before 9am.

Six suspects, aged between 23 and 29, were in custody on Sunday night, while one, aged 26, was in hospital being treated for injuries sustained during the attack.
