Kilmarnock incidents
A mother and daughter have been killed and a man died in a car crash in three linked incidents.
The two women have been named locally as Emma Robertson Coupland and Nicole Anderson.
The mother, 39, was found injured in the car park of University Hospital Crosshouse, near Kilmarnock in East Ayrshire, at around 7.45pm on Thursday but she died at the scene.
In a second incident 20 minutes later on Portland Street, Kilmarnock, Ms Anderson, 24, was stabbed.
Emergency services attended the scene and she was taken to the hospital at Crosshouse, but she later died.
A crash then occurred on the C50 – a minor road between the B7036 and the A76 on the outskirts of Kilmarnock – at around 8.30pm.
