Attributable to Detective Inspector Martin James:<\/p>\n
Three people have died after an incident at an Avenue Road East, Hastings, address early this morning.<\/p>\n
Emergency services were called to the property about 6am after reports of several people being seriously injured.<\/p>\n
On arrival, one person was found deceased.<\/p>\n
Two others were found to be in a critical condition and one in a serious condition, and were transported to Hastings Hospital.<\/p>\n
Sadly, both critical parties have now also died.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A homicide investigation has been launched, and a scene examination will take place at the property today.<\/p>\n
Police appreciate this is a distressing incident that will no doubt be concerning to nearby residents.<\/p>\n
I would like to reassure the community that this was an isolated incident, contained to this specific group of people, and there is no risk to the wider public.<\/p>\n
Further information will be provided when it is available.<\/p>\n
