STABBING IN LONDON: TWO DEAD AND TWO INJURED IN BERMONDSEY

Two men were killed and two others hospitalized following a stabbing that occurred yesterday afternoon at a business in the Bermondsey neighborhood of South London. Scotland Yard has ruled out a terrorist motive.

The Bermondsey neighborhood was rocked by a tragic stabbing that took place yesterday afternoon at a commercial establishment. Two men lost their lives and two others were hospitalized for their injuries.

According to Scotland Yard, which immediately ruled out a terrorist motive, the two victims were aged 27 and 58, respectively.

One of the injured, a man in his thirties, has been detained. The incident appears to be a violent act linked to a sudden outburst or a common criminal episode.

A Neighborhood in Shock

The street where the stabbing occurred, Long Lane, is usually quiet and frequented by young professionals, as stated by a resident to the BBC, who emphasized the highly unusual nature of this event. Police Detective Emma Bond stated that the investigation is in its initial stages and they are working "to fully understand the circumstances of this shocking incident."

Unfortunately, fatal knife attacks are very common in the British capital, with a growing phenomenon of teenage homicides committed by peers within youth gangs.
