Teenagers Killed In Wakefield Double Murder
Police have revealed that the two females found dead in a flat in West Yorkshire were both teenagers and had been stabbed.
The bodies of Samantha Sykes, 18, and Kimberly Frank, 17, were discovered in a flat in Barden Road, Eastmoor after police received a tip-off from another 19-year-old woman in Dover.
Two people, a 19-year-old woman and 23-year-old man, arrested by police have been released without charge with a third 19-year-old man remaining in custody. Kent police in Dover made the arrests, about 250 miles from the incident.
