Two people have been arrested after a fatal stabbing in Bexhill.

Police were called to Bayencourt South at around 10pm on Wednesday where a woman in her fifties died from her injuries.

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.

"We are in the early stages of a fast-moving investigation, but it is currently believed this matter involved people known to each other.

“I understand this will be alarming to the community and there will be an increased police presence in the area for some time.

“We are asking anyone who has any information which could help us with our investigation to contact us."
