A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman was left injured in a Norfolk street.

Officers were called to Catherine Gardens, Thorpe St Andrew, just before 11.45pm on Saturday, to reports of an injured woman. The woman, in her 40s, was declared dead at the scene, launching a murder inquiry.

A man in his 60s has now been arrested on suspicion of murder in Dereham Road, Norfolk Police added.

He is currently in custody at Wymondham Police Investigation Centre.

Yarmouth Road is closed from the junction with Pound Lane to the junction with School Avenue while inquiries are carried out.

Detective Superintendent Stacey Murray, who is leading the investigation, said: ‘We are in the early stages of this investigation, working to establish the sequence of events which led to the woman’s death.

‘However, we do believe this to be an incident in which both parties were known to each other.

‘We would urge anyone with information that could help the investigation, whether it concerns the incident itself or the events leading up to it, to get in touch.’
