Reading (United Kingdom) (AFP) -- British police said Sunday they were keeping an open mind about what prompted a lone suspect to stab three people to death in a park filled with families and friends relaxing in the southern English city of Reading.

The Thames Valley police said three people were also seriously injured and a 25-year-old suspect from the historic town 60 kilometres (35 miles) west of London detained.

They made no reference to reports that the man was a Libyan national.

Footage showed what appeared to be a large number of counter-terror police performing a controlled explosion at a residence where the suspect is believed to have lived.

"Officers are keeping an open mind as to the motivation for the incident and are being supported by colleagues from Counter Terrorism Policing South East," the police said after launching a murder investigation.

"We are not looking for any other people in connection with this incident."

So the dead victims might not be dead?

Which means that once again the white police are hiding the fact they know it was a muslim who just murdered three people but they do not want to offend their muslim rulers.

Might the incident have resulted from the park enjoyers saying nasty things about religion, or have been justifiable self defence?

“One lone person walked through, suddenly shouted some unintelligible words...”

Let me take a guess...”Allahu Akbar”?
