A man in his 80s has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman was found dead in Norfolk.
Police were called to reports a woman had been stabbed in a property in Brooke, south of Norwich, at about 10.30am on Sunday.
The victim, whose age Norfolk police did not disclose, was pronounced dead at the scene when police arrived to Churchill Place. A police cordon remains in place while officers carry out inquiries.
It has already been established that the man and woman were known to each other.
“Clearly we are still in the early stages of our investigation and our enquiries remain ongoing,” said DI Chris Burgess.
“However, it appears that the suspect and the victim were known to each other and we do not believe there to be any threat to the wider public.”
The man was detained at Norfolk and Norwich hospital and will be questioned at Wymondham police investigation centre.
