Police are investigating after a man and woman were found dead after being stabbed.

Officers found the body of a woman after storming a flat in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire.

They also found a man also suffering from knife wounds, who died shortly after police arrived.

A nearby bar manager claimed two children were inside during the incident.

A Hertfordshire Police spokesman said: "When police arrived at the address they found a woman had been stabbed and had tragically passed away.

"A man was also found to be at the property with knife wounds. He also tragically passed away shortly after at the scene.

"At this early stage of the investigation, police do not currently believe they are looking for anyone else in connection with this incident.

"Investigations are on-going."

An air ambulance also flew to the scene, while pictures show police vehicles and a taped cordon surrounding the block of flats, which sits close to a roundabout linking Turners Hill and the High Street.

A bar manager at The Old English Gentleman pub nearby, told The Hertfordshire Mercury: "I feel sorry for the kids. I heard there were two children in there as well. One was about six, same age as my child."
