Conservative MP Sir David Amess has today been murdered after being stabbed ‘multiple times’ during his weekly surgery by a 25-year-old man who ran in and knifed him to death.
The Tory MP for Southend West, 69, was holding a surgery at the Belfairs Methodist Church, in Eastwood Road North, Leigh-on-Sea when his attacker ran into the building wielding a knife before attacking the veteran politician.
Paramedics working to save him on the floor of a Essex church for more than an hour but he could not be saved after appalling attack with chilling similarities to the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox in June 2016.
