News Presenter: A murder inquiry has been launched after a
woman was stabbed to death at Stratford shopping centre last night. The
victim, believed to be in her 40s, suffered multiple stab wounds and despite
treatment was pronounced dead at the scene. Police found her after being called
to reports of a disturbance at the centre just after 8p.m. yesterday evening.
Detective Inspector Morgan of the Metropolitan Police spoke earlier this
morning.
Detective
Inspector (Press Conference, sounds of cameras flashing):We can confirm that a woman in her 40s died last
night after a brutal knife attack in East London. We are appealing for members
of the public who were at the Stratford Shopping Centre between 7.30 and
8.30p.m. yesterday evening to come forward with any information that may help
with our investigation. The perpetrator of this hideous attack remains at large
and we would ask the public to remain vigilant.
News Presenter:
The woman becomes the eighth person to be fatally stabbed in London in the last
week.
This will probably be the opening news story on my bulletin because it contains the following news values:
- Immediacy - The incident happened last night so is likely to be on top of most news stations
- Negativity - bad news as a women has died
- Impact - people may be scared to go out especially as she is not the only one who has been stabbed
- Familiarity - Stratford is well known place in London so audience likely to be familiar with it
- Frequency - She is the 8th person to be stabbed in the week
