Man arrested after double murder. A man has been arrested following a double murder in London.

The man, 31, was arrested in Harlington. He is under arrest at a west London hospital, where he is receiving treatment for wrist and neck injuries. Police found the bodies of a man and woman, both aged 20, at premises in Harlington on Wednesday.

Next of kin have been informed and police are waiting to formally identify the victims.

A post mortem will be held later but police have confirmed both died of stab wounds. A knife has been recovered.

Officers were called to New Road, Harlington, following concerns for the welfare of the occupants.
