A double attempted murder suspect has been arrested by Wiltshire Police.

Wiltshire 999s Ad-Free

David Weir was released on conditional bail following the stabbing of a man and woman in the Bursledon, Hampshire, on 11 January this year.

A woman aged in her 20s sustained stab wounds to her chest and arm, while a man aged in his 20s suffered stab wounds to his head and shoulder.

At the time Hampshire and Isle of Wight Police said the incident was “domestic-related assault” at an address, which happened at around 3am.

The 62-year-old, of Salisbury Road, Amesbury, denied the charges at Southampton Crown Court on 9 February. He was later released on conditional bail.
