The woman stabbed to death in an attack on a street in the British capital London. She was the wife psychology professor of a Florida State University.

Darlene Horton, the wife of Richard Wagner, was killed on the last day of the university's summer study abroad program.

According to the London police, Horton, 64 years old, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Wagner was teaching in the summer study abroad program. Students had already returned to the US, but he and Horton remained. The couple was expected to return to Florida today.

Florida State University President John Thrasher said, “There are no words to express our heartache over this terrible tragedy. We are shocked that such senseless violence has touched our own FSU family, and we will do all we can to assist Professor Wagner and his loved ones, as well as his friends and colleagues in the Psychology department, as they mourn.”

Scotland Yard Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley identified that the suspect was of Norwegian national of Somali ancestry. He said that the police did not found any evidence of radicalization or anything that would suggest that he was motivated by terrorism.

According to Rowley, five people were injured in the attack. Their nationalities nationalities were Australian, American, Israeli and British.

He added, "Whilst the investigation is not yet complete — all of the work that we have done so far, increasingly points to this tragic incident as having been triggered by mental health issues. At this time we believe this was a spontaneous attack and the victims were selected at random."
