A suspect has been identified over the murder of two people within hours of each other in London.

A woman, 45, and a man, 59, were stabbed to death at separate addresses in Westminster on Thursday and in the early hours of Friday morning.

The two killings are believed to be linked and the Metropolitan Police released an image of Lee Peacock, 49, whom they wished to speak to ‘urgently’.

Detective chief inspector Wayne Jolley said: ‘I would urge anybody that knows the whereabouts of Lee Peacock to contact police immediately by calling 999.

‘If seen, we would urge the public not to approach him, but contact police as soon as possible.’

Emergency services were called to Ashbridge Street, Westminster, just after 9.30pm on Thursday, after concerns were raised for the wellbeing of people inside a flat.

Officers found a 45-year-old woman who had suffered a knife injury. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

At 2.15am on Friday, police were alerted by the London Ambulance Service to reports of a man with a knife injury at a property in Jerome Crescent, around half a mile away.
