Murder investigation following fatal stabbing
A man in his 50s has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of a man in Bradley Stoke.
Police were called to a house in Honeysuckle Close at about 3.20am on Saturday morning, with a man believed to be in his 30s pronounced dead at the scene.
The man in his 50s was taken to hospital for treatment but now remains in police custody, with a cordon remaining in place around the house throughout the weekend.
Detective inspector Mark Newbury of Avon & Somerset police’s major crime investigation team said: “Our investigation is at an early stage, but at this moment in time we’d like to reassure the people of Bradley Stoke this is believed to have been an isolated incident.
“A police cordon remains in place while enquiries are carried out at the scene, so people can expect to see an increased police presence in the area.
“It’s likely those important enquiries will take a few days to complete, and we are grateful for neighbours’ understanding.
“There is not considered to be any wider risk to the public, but we’d urge anyone with concerns to speak to the local neighbourhood team or officers on the cordon who will be happy to help as best they can.”
