Police were called out to a local mosque and found two people stabbed to death and several injured. The suspect, armed with a knife, was still on the scene. He charged at the police who tried to persuade him to hand himself over. They then shot and killed him when he failed to cooperate with them. Our reporter Carmel Roberts is on this story.
