Man Arrested For Murder After Rowley Regis Stabbing

A murder investigation has been launched, and a man has been arrested, after a woman died in Rowley Regis yesterday afternoon.

Officers were called to Rowley Healthcare on Hawes Lane, at around 3.50pm following reports that a woman had arrived at the doctors surgery with a stab wound.

The woman, who was believed to be in her 50s, was treated by medical staff and taken to hospital but despite their best efforts it became apparent that there was nothing that could be done to save her life and she died a short time later.
The area has been cordoned off while forensic experts examine the scene.

A 54-year-old man was arrested at the surgery on suspicion of murder and is currently helping police with their enquiries.

Enquiries are on-going but police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the murder.
