Murder arrest as woman stabbed to death at Wolverhampton house
A woman has been stabbed to death at a house in Wolverhampton.
The 41-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene in Tangmere Road, Ettingshall, on Sunday evening.
A 50-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
The death is understood to have been a domestic-related incident, West Midlands Police said.
The woman was one of two people suspected to have been murdered in domestic incidents in Wolverhampton on the same weekend.
A 73-year-old man died in hospital on Sunday after being attacked at a home in Whitmore Reans on Saturday evening. A 32-year-old man has been charged with his murder.
The two-storey home on Tangmere Road where the woman was killed remained cordoned off on Monday, with a blue forensic tent in place in front of the house and uniformed officers guarding the scene.
Tape was also in place preventing anyone but residents from accessing the end of the road, which is part of a new-build estate in between Bilston C of E Primary School and the train line.
Councillor Beverley Momenabadi, who represents the area, said the incident had left local residents shocked.
"What has happened has truly devastated and shocked our local community, that I both live in and represent as a councillor.
"I have received dozens of messages from neighbours and residents offering their condolences. Many are in sheer disbelief.
"My prayers are with the woman’s family and I hope that anyone involved is brought to justice."
West Midlands Ambulance Service sent an ambulance and paramedic officer to the scene along with a trauma doctor and critical care paramedic.
A spokesman for the service said: “On arrival, we found one patient, a woman, who was in a critical condition. She received advanced life support on scene but unfortunately, despite the best efforts of ambulance staff, it became apparent that nothing more could be done to save her and she was confirmed deceased at the scene.”
A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: "We were called to Tangmere Road, Ettingshall, at just after 8pm yesterday and found a 41-year-old woman with serious injuries.
"She was sadly confirmed dead at the scene.
"A 50-year-old man was promptly arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody for questioning.
"It's understood to be domestic-related but our enquiries remain ongoing."
