“Students stabbed and set alight”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Two French research students found stabbed to death following a flat fire had been tied up and suffered horrific, excessive injuries, police have said.
The bodies of Laurent Bonomo and Gabriel Ferez, both 23, were found in a ground-floor flat in New Cross, south-east London, on Sunday night.
They had suffered a total of 243 stab wounds to the head, neck and chest before being set alight.
The biochemistry students had been studying at Imperial College, London.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The BBC’s crime correspondent Ben Ando said Mr Bonomo had 196 stab wounds, including 100 to his back, and Mr Ferez had been stabbed 47 times.
He added a chemical was used as an accelerant in the fire.
Mr Duthie said: “The extent of the injuries are horrific. I have never seen injuries like this throughout my career.
“I would not say this was a professional attack. I would say it was a frenzied, horrible, horrific attack.
“I imagine it would take some considerable amount of time to inflict the nature of the injuries.””
