Piercing screams heard as three kids under age of seven are ‘stabbed by woman’ in horror rampage

HORRIFIED residents have told how they heard "screams" before a woman and three kids were found "stabbed" in a home.

Cops rushed to the house on Walpole Road in Huddersfield this morning and discovered the two boys and young girl with "serious injuries".

Police have confirmed the kids, all thought to be under the age of seven, were "stabbed" with a bladed weapon.

A woman was also found with the same type of wounds.

The four of them were rushed to hospital for treatment.

West Yorkshire Police have now confirmed a woman has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

Natalia Skorek, 23, who lives a few doors away from the address, told how she and her mother were shocked to hear loud screams this morning.

She said: “My mum heard some screaming around 7am."

“But we thought it was the neighbours on the other side because they have kids and sometimes hear them shouting.

“So we didn’t think anything of it.

“It was only later we found what had happened.”

Another neighbour, who didn’t wish to be named, said the woman had lived at the address with her husband for around two years and they had three children.

She said: “I think the husband is a taxi driver.

“One of the children is just a few months old, the other two are older.”

Meanwhile Rehzhin Amad, 30, said: “When I found out what had happened I got so emotional and just started crying.

“All I could do was pray for them.”

A fourth Huddersfield local who didn’t wish to be named, said: “I saw the two older children being carried into the ambulance.

“Then the mum came out and she had a blanket wrapped around her body.

“It was really upsetting to see.”

West Yorkshire Police said: "Police received a report of concern for safety from the ambulance service at 08:02am this morning.

"A scene remains in place at the address and initial enquiries are underway to establish the circumstances of what took place."

DCI Sam Freeman, of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said: "Enquiries are ongoing today into what has clearly been a serious and distressing incident in Huddersfield and we fully appreciate the concern it will cause in the local community.

"Detectives are conducting enquiries to determine the exact circumstances of what has taken place and an arrest has now been made as part of those investigations."

Chief Inspector Rebecca Calpin of Kirklees Police, said: "Reassurance patrols are talking place in the local area by officers from the Huddersfield Neighbourhood Policing Team and will be continuing throughout the day as Kirklees officers work to support colleagues from our HMET team."
