A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder after twin babies were ‘attacked with a hammer’ leaving one boy dead and his sister critically injured.
Bidhya Sagar Das, 33, was arrested near Hackney shortly after 7pm this evening and has been taken to an east London police station where he remains in custody.
Police were called to the flat at 11pm last night. The children were rushed to hospital but the boy died at 1am this morning and the girl is still fighting for her life.
Police said they believed the incident to be domestic, although enquiries continue.
Mihai Manea, 29, who lives on the second floor of the building, said the children were twins and lived on the top floor.
Detective Chief Inspector Dave Whellams, of the Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: ‘This is clearly a tragic incident, and our thoughts are with the family of the two young children.
‘Despite the best efforts of medical professionals a baby boy sadly died in the early hours of this morning. A baby girl currently remains in a critical condition and is receiving specialist medical care.
‘Whilst we remain in the early stages of the investigation, a man has now been arrested. I would still like to hear from anyone who may have any information regarding this terrible incident.’
Call police on 020 8345 3775 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 with information.
