Despite the efforts of the emergency services, the victims were found dead on the spot.

A man arrested on suspicion of murder and taken to a police station in South London remains in custody. It is assumed that all five were acquainted with each other.

On Monday morning, four tents at the crime scene defended the bodies on the street where they were given first aid while detectives searched for clues.

A pensioner whose house looked on in horror said: “There were a lot of policemen and paramedics outside working with the victims. It looked like a bloodbath, a massacre scene.

“I think they were my neighbors. Wonderful couple. I can’t believe anyone would want to hurt them. “

She added: “They have been here for years. I’m so shocked – it’s a nightmare. I can’t describe to you how kind these people were. “

A mother of two living against the killings added: “I woke up this morning and saw four tents with police officers saying there was a stabbing. It looked like a carnage. It was like something out of a movie. “

Mayor Sadiq Khan said: “I heard with a broken heart that three women and a man were killed last night in a devastating incident in Southwark.

“My thoughts are with the family and friends of those who lost loved ones in this horrific crime.

An investigation is underway and a man has been detained.

Harriet Harman, an MP from Camberwell and Peckham, tweeted that it was “tragic” and that she was working with Met and the local council.

The stage is close to Millwall FC The Den Stadium and South Bermondsey Rail Station.

Photos from the scene show that part of the road is closed with metal fences.

Scotland Yard said employees are in contact with close relatives. Post-mortem examinations will be organized in a timely manner.

Detectives from the Metropolitan’s Special Anti-Crime Command are investigating one of the largest single murders in London in recent years.

Investigations are continuing to establish the circumstances, a Met spokesman said.
