Four people were found stabbed to death at a home in south London, British police revealed on Monday, adding that the man had been arrested.

Neighbours called officers to report the incident around 1:40 a.m. in the Bermondsey area, according to the Metropolitan Police force.

Inside the house, the police found three women — in their 30s, 40s and 60s — and a man in his 60s “suffering what are believed to be stab injuries.” All four were pronounced dead at the scene.

A fifth man, in his late 20s, was detained on suspicion of murder. Police said the victims and the suspect all knew one another and they were not looking for other suspects.

Meanwhile, the police are contacting the victims’ families.

“Such terrible events are rare, but I know that will not diminish the shock that will be felt across London and the wider country," police Chief Superintendent Colin Wingrove said. "I assure you, this investigation will leave no stone unturned in discovering the facts.”
