Nine-year-old boy stabbed to death in Bradford

Police have launched a murder inquiry after a nine-year-old boy was stabbed to death in Bradford last night. His 18-year-old sister also had a stab wound but her injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. A man in his 20s has been arrested on suspicion of murder and assault, but reports on Sky News that he was the boy's older brother could not be confirmed. West Yorkshire police said they were called to a house in the city at 7.46pm. The boy, who has not been named, was taken to Bradford Royal Infirmary where he died of his injuries soon after 8pm. A postmortem revealed he died of multiple stab wounds but police said it was not clear if he had been injured with a knife or another weapon.
