A man has been arrested on suspicion of a double murder after two women have been found dead in a quiet suburban street in Sussex village, Sussex Police have confirmed.
"Someone that I know heard shouting and swearing and heard 'I'm going to kill you," a horrified neighbour said.
"Therewas a domestic dispute or argument that was going on. There was shouting and threats made and the police were called."
"It seems he has killed two people and severely stabbed a third person. I don't know whether they are related to him but it is just terrible."
Another eyewitness said the attacker went "berserk" as he carried out the murder in broad daylight.
"This is a terrible scene - and so near Christmas. Those poor people, they must have been terrified in the moments before they died," the witness added.
Initial reports suggested that a knife was used in the double murder but Sussex Police quickly shut down those claims.
"In response to media speculation, I wish to make it absolutely clear that this is not a knife crime," Detective Chief Inspector Alex Geldart, of the Sussex and Surrey major crime team told the Daily Mail.
