A major police investigation is underway in South Bristol after two teenagers were killed in violence in Knowle West. Ilminster Avenue in Knowle West has been cordoned off with a large police presence, following reports of a violent incident late on Saturday evening. Bristol Live understands two people have been attacked and seriously assaulted. Forensics teams are at the scene, and the road is completely closed between Newquay Road and Connaught Road. The road is on the main bus route through Knowle West, so buses have had to be diverted. Residents of Ilminster Avenue woke to find a large police presence and their homes inside a police cordon, with officers conducting door to door inquiries.
