A 39-year-old woman from Bexhill was arrested on suspicion of murder while a 32-year-old man, also from Bexhill, was arrested for assisting an offender.
Both remain in custody.
Detective Chief Inspector Campbell said: “Our thoughts are with the victim's family and friends following this tragic incident and the family ask that they are given privacy at this time.
