A knife attack outside Suriname's capital of Paramaribo killed at least nine people, including five children, police said Sunday. Officials said the victims included four of the attacker's children and neighbours who came to their aid. A neighbour's child was also killed. Local media reported the victims were located at multiple homes. The attack took place in Richelieu in the Commewijne district about 25 kilometres (15 miles) east of Paramaribo. In a statement Sunday, Suriname's Police Corps said the male suspect attempted to attack police officers who arrived on the scene and he was injured during his arrest. He is now recovering in a hospital. Police said a sixth child and another adult were seriously injured in the attack and were being treated at a hospital in Paramaribo. On her Facebook page, Surinamese President Jennifer Geerlings-Simons reacted to the news, saying the attacker took the life of his children and his neighbours.
