Three killed in London after being hit by train
LONDON, June 18, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Three people died in south London after
being hit by a train, police said Monday, calling the incident “unexplained”.
Reports said spray paint cans were found near the bodies close to Brixton.
“My team are now working hard to understand what happened and how these
three people came to lose their life on the railway,” said detective Gary
Richardson.
“At this time, we are treating their deaths as unexplained as we make a
number of immediate inquiries.
“I would ask anyone who was near to Loughborough Junction this morning,
and saw something which they think might be relevant, please contact us as
soon as possible.”
Police were trying to ascertain when the incident occurred, with the
possibility they were struck by a freight train overnight.
