A man has been arrested after a woman died and another woman suffered life-threatening injuries in Worcester.
Emergency services went to a property in Haresfield Close in the city at about 20:30 GMT on Saturday where the 58-year-old woman died.
“Another woman, aged 39, was found with life-threatening injuries and taken to hospital,” said West Mercia Police.
The 50-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder, the force said.
Det Ch Insp Leighton Harding, of its murder investigation unit, said: “I understand that incidents of this nature can be alarming, but I would like to reassure the local community that this was an isolated incident and there is no wider risk to the public.”
