    The police have reported that the brothers and sisters who were found dead in a Bristol flat on Sunday were all stabbed to death.

    Fares Bash, aged seven, Joury Bash, aged three, and nine-month-old Mohammed Bash were found in the Sea Mills area of the city.

    Following a possible homicide, a 42-year-old woman has been arrested and is currently hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

    Chief Inspector Vicks Hayward-Melen said: “It’s really sad that these young children, who had their whole lives ahead of them, are gone. Our thoughts are with their family and anyone else affected by this tragedy. ”

    “Our specialist liaison officers will keep helping and supporting the family members of the people they work with. ”

    In the last few days, doctors have checked the bodies of the children to find out how they died. We now know that each child died from being stabbed with a knife.

    She said the road barriers in Blaise Walk were removed and a police station on wheels will open in Sea Mills this weekend.

    Ms Hayward-Melen said before that this is a rare event and it won’t affect the general public.

    We removed the main barriers in Blaise Walk and want to thank the local residents for being patient and supportive while we investigated the area.

    The three children could not be saved and a vigil will be held later today to remember them.

    Avon and Somerset Police asked an independent group to review their past actions.

    Isaac Godiga, a 35-year-old farmer has met his untimely death after he was stabbed several times in the chest and stomach at Assin Akropong in the Assin Fosu Municipality of the Central Region.

    He died while being transported to the hospital for treatment. The body has since been deposited at the St. Francis Xavier Hospital Morgue pending investigations.

    The deceased is said to have earlier made an official complaint to the Assin Akropong Police Command after he received intel that the phone was with the suspect and his friends, but the police officer on duty ordered the complainant, now deceased to get the suspect arrested since the police officers on duty at the time were not enough to go out of the station.

    Consequently, the Assin Fosu Divisional Commander Chief Superintendent Edith Gaanu including the Divisional Crime Officer, DSP Daniel Darko, and the District Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Cephas Arthur, and a team of police officers paid a visit to commiserate with the bereaved family and assured them that the circumstances surrounding the death of their relatives will be probed transparently and professionally.

    They also called on the youth to remain calm and not to resort to violence as the police are forever ready to address their concerns.

    Meanwhile, one of the suspects has been arrested and is in police custody assisting with the investigation.
