A series of attacks occurred in Nottingham, UK, resulting in three deaths and three injuries. Two 19-year-old students were found stabbed to death on Ilkeston Road, while a stolen van was driven into pedestrians on Milton Street, injuring three individuals.

The van was eventually stopped on Maples Street, leading to the arrest of a 31-year-old man, described as a West African migrant with mental health problems. A man in his 50s was also found dead from knife injuries on Magdala Road. The police believe all incidents are connected.

Two 19-year-old individuals who tragically lost their lives on Ilkeston Road have been identified as Barnaby Webber and Grace Kumar, also known as Grace O'Malley-Kumar. They were students at the University of Nottingham. Grace Kumar was a talented hockey player, having been part of England Hockey's under-16 and under-18 squads. The man found deceased on Magdala Road remains unnamed.

In the incident on Milton Street involving the van, one man was critically injured while the other two sustained minor injuries, according to the police. An eyewitness described seeing a man and a woman being struck by the van, with the woman appearing to be okay while the man initially remained on the ground but eventually got up. The families of the victims have been notified and are receiving support from the authorities.

Eyewitnesses described harrowing scenes in two separate incidents in Nottingham. In the first incident on Ilkeston Road, a young man and woman were stabbed multiple times, leading to the man's collapse and their subsequent unsuccessful resuscitation. The second incident on Milton Street involved a van deliberately targeting two individuals, with the driver accelerating upon seeing a police car behind him.

One witness recounted seeing the woman thrown onto the curb and the man propelled into the air. The incidents have left the eyewitnesses shaken, and emergency services responded promptly to both scenes.

The police investigation into the Nottingham attacks is still in its early stages, with the motive yet to be determined. They are working alongside counter-terrorism police and keeping an open mind about the case. One suspect has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody, while no other arrests are currently reported.

Police have conducted searches at various addresses in the city and set up forensic tents at relevant locations. They are also examining a damaged van near the arrest site. Concerned individuals can contact a dedicated police helpline for assistance.
