Police in London have been shocked at a frenzied attack on two French students.
The students, who shared an apartment, were found stabbed to death in their charred rooms after the brutal stabbings.
The bound and battered bodies of Laurent Bonomo and Gabriel Ferez, both 23, were found in southeast London on Sunday when emergency services were called to the fire.
Bonomo had been stabbed nearly 200 times while Ferez suffered around 50 wounds.
Police say the murder was horrific and say officers working at the scene were shocked by the extent of the violence.
Local residents say they heard an explosion about the same time and then observed a man running from the scene.
The two students, both biochemists from a university in Clermont-Ferrand, central France, were on a short exchange program at London's prestigious Imperial College.
They were due to return home at the end of July.
Police revealed that the apartment had been burgled in the days leading up to the men's deaths, when a computer was stolen.
