A murder probe has been launched after a woman aged in her 20s was fatally stabbed in south London.

Officers were called to Frith Road, Croydon, just after 09:00 BST on Saturday following two reports of a stabbing, the Met Police said.

The woman was found dead at the scene. A man in his 30s was taken to hospital with minor injuries and was arrested on suspicion of murder.

A police scene is currently in place with officers remaining in the area for the weekend.

Police are in the early stages of establishing what happened, but initial inquiries suggest the incident began at a nearby address, before escalating on to Frith Road, the Met Police said.

Supt Mitch Carr, who leads local policing in Croydon, said: “This is a tragic incident where a young woman has lost her life and our thoughts are with her loved ones.

“I especially want to thank the members of the public, including a teenage boy, who bravely tried to help the victim.

“We believe that this was an isolated incident, but understand that this news will shock the local community.

“Officers will remain in the area over the coming days and we would ask anyone who has concerns to speak with them.”
