Woman found stabbed to death after house blown up in gas explosion
A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 46-year-old woman was found stabbed to death inside a house after a gas explosion. Police were called to reports of an explosion at the address in Stoke Newington, London, just before 5am on Tuesday. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: 'A woman aged 46 was found inside the property with stab wounds. Despite the efforts of paramedics, she was sadly declared dead at the scene. 'A 44-year-old man was arrested at the address on suspicion of murder. 'He was taken to hospital with slash wounds where he currently remains. His condition is not life-changing or life-threatening. 'Two children aged nine and seven have also been taken to hospital as a precaution but are not believed to have been inside the property at the time of the gas explosion.' A neighbour described the noise of the gas explosion 'like somebody dropped a massive glass cabinet from a crane'. The man, who did not want to be named, added: 'I looked out and saw panes of glass on the floor. You could tell it wasn't a car window. 'Eventually, I noticed the beam on the bay window was missing and could see some mild smoke coming out of the back.' He added: 'People started arriving and saying to phone the police... there was a guy rushing around, very distraught. He went round the back.' Six fire engines and 40 firefighters attended the scene, where road closures remain in place. The house, which is a terrace on the corner of Dumont Road, was surrounded by police, firefighters and gas workers later in the morning. The front bay window was completely blown out and debris, including plants, wooden shutters and glass, was scattered across the street.
