A woman who was killed in Luton on Monday (20 January) has been named as 46-year-old Dianne Cleary.
Dianne, from Luton, was taken to hospital following an incident at a property in Turners Road North on Monday (20 January), but later died of her injuries.
An investigation was launched by the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit.
A 25-year-old man, also from Luton, has since been arrested on suspicion of her murder as well as the attempted murder of a second woman whose injuries are not life-threatening.
He remains in police custody for questioning.
Detective Inspector Adam Bridges, leading the investigation, said: “We can confirm the sad news that Dianne Cleary sadly lost her life following this incident, and we have specially-trained officers supporting her loved ones. Our thoughts are with them. The family have asked the media to respect their privacy at this exceptionally difficult time.
“We continue to work around the clock on this case and are still appealing for anyone with information to contact police quoting Operation Wroxham. We recognise the impact this has had not only on Diane’s relatives and friends but also the wider community, and thank them for their support and patience as we conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Dianne’s death.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact police via our web chat service on our Website or by calling 101, quoting Operation Wroxham.
