In the early hours of Sunday morning, a devastating knife attack claimed the life of a woman in her 30s in Tower Hamlets, East London. Responding to a distress call about a stabbing on Duckett Street, police and the London Ambulance Service arrived at the scene but were unable to save the victim. She was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.

Shortly after, authorities arrested a 32-year-old woman on suspicion of murder. A 37-year-old man has also been taken into custody, suspected of assisting an offender. Both remain in police custody as investigations continue.

Detective Chief Inspector Ben Dalloway from the Metropolitan Police's Specialist Crime Command, who is leading the investigation, confirmed that the individuals involved were known to each other. He also reassured the public, stating, "We are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident."

The incident has once again highlighted the urgent need for action in tackling knife crime in London. As officers continue to work at the scene, local residents have been urged to remain patient as forensic teams complete their investigation.
