Man, 21, knifed to death and woman seriously injured in Havant home as cops arrest two men on suspicion of murder

A MAN was found stabbed to death and a woman left seriously injured at a home overnight as cops arrested two men on suspicion of murder.

Police rushed to the Havant home about 11pm last night to find the 21-year-old man fatally injured.

The 27-year-old woman was also found at the scene with serious injuries.

Havant Police today confirmed they had been called to the scene after reports of a disturbance in Tichborne Grove.

Ambulance crews desperately tried to save the man’s life but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

His next of kin have been informed and they are being supported by specialist officers.

The woman, from Southsea, was taken to Southampton General Hospital for treatment.

A 25-year-old man from Cambourne, Cornwall and a 31-year-old man from Hayling Island have been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Both remain in police custody.

It comes after the force today launched a murder inquiry after the body of 16-year-old Louise Smith was found in woodland in Havant this week.

The teen had been missing for two weeks before the grim discovery was made.

However, police said the incidents were not linked.

A Havant Police spokesperson said: “We know that this news, following on from recent events, will be of concern to residents however we want to reassure you that this is an isolated incident and not in any way linked to the death of Louise Smith.

“We will continue to be in the area throughout the day conducting enquiries so if any residents have any concerns, please come and speak to us.”
