A woman has died after suffering stab wounds at an address in Margate.

Two people have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman in her 30s was reportedly assaulted on Elfrida Close.

The force was called at around 3.10am on Saturday (16 July) to a private property on the street.

Officers attended the address with Southeast Coast Ambulance Service and the woman was located with injuries consistent with stab wounds. She was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Investigators from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of murder.

A woman in her 20s was also arrested on suspicion of murder and assisting an offender.
