The British authorities are fearful that the brutal killing of two teenagers could trigger another wave of public unrest.

A 15-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy, who are yet to be publicly identified by police, were stabbed by a “group of men” on Saturday night.

The fatal stabbing incident took place in Knowles West in South Bristol, which is the most populous city in Southwest England. The police, as has become customary in Britain, refused to identify the suspects as anything other than a “group of men,” despite apprehending a 44-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy in connection to the heinous crime.

“Police arrived at the scene within minutes of the first call and did what they could to provide first aid. The victims sustained stab wounds and were taken to two hospitals – Southmead hospital and Bristol Royal hospital for Children – by ambulance, where they sadly died in the early hours of this morning,” an official statement said.
