A man and a woman have died after being found with stab wounds at a home in Hertfordshire.

Police and an air ambulance rushed to the scene on Sunday afternoon after reports of a “disturbance” in Cheshunt.

Neighbours reported hearing shouting, shortly followed by the arrival of police in riot uniform.

Officers said the woman was found to be dead at the scene, on Turners Hill, and the man died shortly after.

They are not looking for anyone else in connection with the stabbing.

One neighbour tweeted that he heard "screaming and a neighbour shouting 'CALL 999'."

He then wrote that a police officer with a "riot shield" had arrived, as well as a helicopter.

A police spokeswoman told the Hertfordshire Mercury: "Police were called to Turners Hill in Cheshunt at 1.15pm today (February 19) following reports of a disturbance within a property.

"When police arrived at the address they found a woman had been stabbed and had tragically passed away.

“A man was also found to be at the property with knife wounds. He also tragically passed away shortly after at the scene.

“At this early stage of the investigation, police do not currently believe they are looking for anyone else in connection with this incident.

"Investigations are on-going."
