Read our privacy policy One woman has been killed in a mass stabbing in Russell Square, central London that has left five others injured. "This was a tragic incident resulting in the death of one woman and five others being injured," said Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley. The Metropolitan Police Service's Homicide and Major Crime Command is currently investigating the scene at Russell Square – a busy area near the British Museum and University College London. Fears of terrorist connections come in the wake of high profile attacks by lone men in Nice, France, and Orlando, Florida, where seemingly mentally disturbed attackers also claim allegiance to Isis.
