A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after three people were killed in Nottingham in a “horrific and tragic incident”.
It comes after a major incident was declared this morning as Nottinghamshire Police closed several roads across the city centre.
Two people were found dead in the street in Ilkeston Road just after 4am on Tuesday and a third man was found dead in Magdala Road, Nottinghamshire Police said.
