Officers were called to the home in Princes Street, Dunstable, Bedfordshire, just before 2pm to reports that a woman had been stabbed.

She was taken to Luton and Dunstable Hospital but died of her injuries.

A 54-year-old male resident of the home has been arrested on suspicion of murder, a police spokeswoman said.

A police investigation called Operation Ellendale has been set up under Detective Chief Inspector Sean O'Neil.

The spokeswoman added: "Details will not be released relating to the identity of the victim or the cause of death until a post mortem examination and a formal identity of the victim have been completed.

"Police officers, detectives and scenes of crime officers are still at the scene."
