Man arrested after MP for Southend West stabbed ‘multiple times’ at church in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex
Pictures from the scene show emergency services responding:
Councillor John Lamb, who is at the scene, has described Amess as an “amicable” family man.
He’s a family man, he’s got four daughters and a son. He’s always trying to help people and especially refugees he’s tried to help. He’s a very amicable person and he does stick by his guns; he says what he believes and he sticks by it.
