Police have arrested a 54-year-old man following a fatal stabbing in central Denmark. A 34-year-old man died from knife wounds in the incident. Another 29-year-old man sustained serious injuries during the overnight violence.
Officers responded to a residence on Gormsvej in Herning around 12:52 AM Tuesday. The stabbing occurred at the suspect's own address, according to police statements.
Authorities confirmed the victims and the arrested man likely knew each other before the attack. Preliminary investigation suggests the individuals involved had some form of disagreement prior to the violence.
Police expect to remain at the scene for several hours as their investigation continues. They have notified the deceased man's relatives about the tragic outcome.
Witnesses who saw anything around Gormsvej late Monday evening or early Tuesday morning should contact police at 114. The location in central Herning remains an active crime scene as officers gather evidence.
This violent incident in a normally quiet Danish town shows how quickly disputes can escalate into tragedy. Police currently have no further information about the case but continue their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the stabbing.
