A man has been charged with murder and attempted murder after a woman died and a second suffered life-threatening injuries in Worcester.
Wendy Francis, 61, was found with fatal wounds at an address in Haresfield Close at about 20:30 GMT on Saturday.
A second woman, 38, who was taken to hospital with injuries, was in a stable condition, West Mercia Police said.
Damian Homer, 50, of Haresfield Close, has been charged with murder and attempted murder, police said.
He is due to appear later at Kidderminster Magistrates’ Court.
In a statement, Ms Francis’ family said: “Wendy will be hugely missed; she was one in a million and much-loved.”
Det Ch Insp Leighton Harding, from West Mercia Police’s murder investigation unit, previously said it was an isolated incident and there was “no wider risk” to the public.
“You will notice a higher police presence in the area in the coming days as officers investigate this incident,” he said.
“Our thoughts are with the family of the woman who has sadly lost her life.”
