Story summary
At around 12:30 am on Thursday in Thurnby, Leicestershire, two masked men broke into a house and severely assaulted a 15-year-old boy and his father, leaving them both in critical condition at the hospital. The mother of the teen, who is also the wife of the man in his 50s, sustained minor hand and shoulder injuries but has since been discharged from the hospital. Three other children present during the attack were not harmed.
Detective Inspector Lorna Granville from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit stated that this appeared to be a completely unprovoked violent act against a family in their own home, emphasizing the police’s ongoing efforts to identify and apprehend those responsible for such a horrific crime. A forensic investigation vehicle was seen outside the house on Friday afternoon with a police officer guarding it.
According to a friend of the injured teen, he suffered three stab wounds inflicted by “gang members” who robbed the family's home before fleeing.
