Police have arrested a man aged 18 on suspicion of murder, following the discovery of three deceased people in the Marsh Farm area of Luton. Officers were responding to concerns about the welfare of some residents when they discovered the injured people at a flat in the 15-storey Leabank building at approximately 05:30 BST. All three were pronounced dead at the scene. Following searches, police found a weapon.
Det Supt Rob Hall described the situation as “a truly appalling incident which has sadly resulted in the tragic deaths of three people”.
