(Maastricht) A mass stabbing took place last night in the southern
Dutch city of Maastricht. A man was stabbed to death during a fight around 9 pm
local (2000 GMT) and a suspect fled the scene. Ten minutes later a woman was
fatally stabbed and two men injured about a kilometre away
from the first incident. A third wounded person was later found at a local
mosque.
Police have arrested a suspect on suspicion of involvement in the incidents. They have released no details on the suspect or the victims but said investigation gave "no reason whatsoever to presume" that terrorism was a motive in the stabbings.
