Police are hunting for a suspect who fled after a 20-year-old woman was stabbed to death in east London.
Scotland Yard said police were called shortly before 11pm on Thursday to Dora Street in Mile End after reports of several people suffering from stab injuries.
A 20-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene at around 11.40pm, while two other people – a 42-year-old woman and 24-year-old man – were taken to hospital with injuries but have since been discharged.
The suspected attacker fled the scene before police arrived, while there were also two other uninjured parties at the property.
Detectives believe they know who the victim is but are awaiting formal identification.
The homicide and major crime command is investigating and anyone with any information should contact the incident room on 020 8345 3734, or police via 101, or by tweeting @MetCC.
