China News Service, October 16th. According to foreign media reports, a British Conservative Party MP was killed in an attack on the 15th at a rally. The police said that the incident was a terrorist attack.
The incident occurred in Essex, southern England.
At around 12:05 on the 15th local time, Conservative Party MP David Ames was stabbed multiple times by a man at a rally meeting with voters.
An emergency plane flew to the scene of the incident, and medical staff rescued it, but Ames still died of his injuries.
The police rushed to the scene and arrested a suspicious man who believed he was acting alone.
The police said: “The police who arrived quickly arrested a 25-year-old man on suspicion of murder and found a knife.” The police said they did not search for any other persons involved in the incident.
The London Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement that preliminary investigations showed that the incident was related to extremism.
Ames has been a member of Congress since 1983.
At the beginning of the year, he talked about anti-social behaviors and knife crime incidents in the country, and called on the government to take more measures to deal with it.
He is the second incumbent member of Parliament to be assassinated in the UK in the past five years.
In 2016, Labour MP Cox was attacked and killed in his electoral district.
