Al-Jazeera correspondent reported the death of British Conservative MP David Amis, after he was stabbed, during a visit to his constituency in Essex, southeast England.

Britain's Conservative MP, led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, was killed after being stabbed several times on Friday by a man who entered a meeting between the MP and members of his constituency at Belvers Baptist Church, Reuters said.

Police forces entered the church and said they had arrested a man and were not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.

Police added that Representative Ames was treated by emergency services but died at the scene.

"A 25-year-old person was quickly arrested after officers arrived at the scene on suspicion of involvement in the murder, and a knife was found," it added.

Ames was first elected to Parliament to represent Basildon in 1983, and then ran for election in Southend West in 1997.

The incident is reminiscent of an incident in 2010 when Labor MP Stephen Thames survived a similar attack in his constituency office, as well as the killing of Labor MP Jo Cox in a 2016 shooting just days before the Brexit referendum.
