POLICE IN LONDON have launched an investigation following the deaths of three people in the Brentford area of the English capital.

At around 1am this morning, officers forced entry to a residential address in Clayponds Lane, following concerns for the welfare of the occupants.

Inside the address, officers discovered the bodies of a woman, believed to be aged in her 30s, and a boy, believed to be aged three-years-old.

A man was found suffering stab injuries. London Ambulance Service attended but he was pronounced dead at the scene. It is thought all three people were known to each other.
