Murder investigation underway into death of man in Milton Keynes
A man died from stab wounds in Brooklands Square on Thursday
A murder investigation has been launched after a man died in a stabbing in Milton Keynes.
Police were notified by South Central Ambulance Service at 6.47pm on Thursday 25th January to reports that a man had been found stabbed in Brooklands Square.
Paramedics tried to save the victim’s life, but the 48-year-old local man was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 27 year old woman and a 24 year old man, both from Milton Keynes, were arrested on suspicion of murder. A 57-year-old woman, also from Milton Keynes, has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. The 27 year old woman has since been released without further action.
Local Policing Commander for Milton Keynes, Chief Superintendent Emma Baillie said: “As a city, in recent years all of our communities have come together with a great sense of purpose to prevent serious violence and knife crime, which has led to significant reductions in the last few months.
“So I know this murder will be felt deeply in Milton Keynes, but violent offenders will never stop our communities from continuing to work together, shoulder to shoulder, to prevent further tragedies or loss of lives.
“Our neighbourhood officers will be conducting patrols in the area, so if you have any concerns, questions, or information then please stop and speak to them.”
The force has made a mandatory referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), who will decide whether to carry out an investigation in relation to this specific part of the case.
