A police officer has been injured during a manhunt in Lincolnshire, following the murder of a woman and her son in the county.
The 26-year-old and her nine-year-old son – who knew Mr Boulton – were stabbed to death at a home in Louth on Monday night. Another, younger child was found at the home unhurt.
Lincolnshire Police has issued an urgent appeal for help finding Daniel Boulton, 29, in connection with the killings.
In an 11.30am update linked to the investigation on Tuesday, the force said an off-duty officer had been injured in the Hubbard’s Hills area of Louth.
His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

Detectives warned residents not to approach Mr Boulton if they see him, but to call 999 instead.
They said they were not looking to arrest anyone else in connection with the murders.
Police were called to High Holme Road at 8.29pm on Monday by paramedics, where they found the woman and her son dead. A knife believed to have been used to kill them was found in the home.
