A woman in her 20s has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man was stabbed to death at a flat in east London.

Police and paramedics responded to reports of a stabbing in the Isle of Dogs at 8.26am on Thursday. They found the victim, aged in his 30s, with a stab wound, police said.

“We sent a motorcycle responder, an incident response officer and an ambulance crew. We also dispatched London’s air ambulance by car,” said a spokesman for the London ambulance service. “Sadly, despite extensive efforts, a person was dead at the scene.”

The suspect was taken to an east London police station. Police said they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the killing but inquiries were continuing and detectives from the Metropolitan police homicide and major crime command had been informed.
