Two teachers in their 50s have died after a violent attack at a secondary school in the southern Swedish city of Malmö, police say.

An 18-year-old student at the school has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Local media report that the victims were stabbed, but no firearms were used in the attack.
The two women, employees of Malmö Latin School, were taken to hospital by ambulance but died of their injuries.

At a news conference this morning, police said the suspect was arrested just 10 minutes after the alarm was raised.

Officers arrived at an apparently calm school, but found the two injured women and the suspect on the third floor. Swedish news outlet Aftonbladet reports that he was found with an axe and a knife.

The 18-year-old man had no criminal record or history of suspicious behaviour, police said, but investigations were continuing. Police said they would interview the suspect and many others from the school on Tuesday.

The motive remains unknown and there is as yet no evidence of an unusual link between the student and two teachers.
