Police and emergency vehicles were deployed to the scene yesterday following the reported stabbing in a restaurant in Herve, Belgium.

The La Libre Belgique daily said on its website a male attacker was among the three dead, which also included two women.

Another daily newspaper, Le Soir, said the attacker had entered a restaurant in the village of Moresnet-Chapelle and stabbed a former partner.

A local official has said that it was a family affair and not terror-related.
