Two people have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man died and two others were left with life-threatening injuries during a burglary in Bristol.
Avon and Somerset Police said officers had been called to a property in Prewett Street, in the Redcliffe area of the city at around 1am on Monday morning to reports a burglary was in progress.
Emergency services found several injured people at the house, including a man who later died at the scene.
The other two victims have been taken to hospital, both in a life-threatening condition.
Two men from London, aged 25 and 37 have been arrested on suspicion of murder and are currently in police custody.
“We deployed a significant number of resources to this incident and as a result, we’ve apprehended two men who ran away from the scene when we arrived,” said Andrew Mott, senior investigating officer for Avon and Somerset Police.
“This is now a murder inquiry and the public will see a significantly increased police presence in the area with detectives and staff examining the scene and neighbourhood officers conducting extra reassurance patrols.
“Early indications are that this appears to be an isolated incident but I’d urge anyone with concerns to speak to one of the neighbourhood officers.”
