A man has been killed and a woman critically injured in a stabbing at a home in northern Tasmania.

Two teenagers were at the house when the stabbing occurred but escaped unharmed.
“Police are working to locate the offender who is not believed to be a threat to the wider community,” Tasmania Police said in a statement.
“Members of the public are asked to avoid the area where the incident occurred while investigations are underway.”
The woman has been taken to Launceston General Hospital.
