A 41-year-old man from the Boston area has been arrested in connection with a double murder in the town today.
Police were called to a house in Red Lion Street where there were reports of a disturbance at about 5am when they found three people injured after an alleged assault.
A 26-year-old woman died at the scene and a man, also aged 26, was taken to Pilgrim Hospital, Boston, but died from his injuries a short time later.
Medics at the hospital are also treating a 24-year-old woman for what police said were “less serious injuries” and they also confirmed that a man who they arrested was helping them with their enquiries.
Police will be making house-to-house enquiries over the coming days to establish what happened and anyone with information should call 101 as soon as possible.
