A 47-year-old woman who stabbed to death in Wisbech on 10 January has been named as Eliza Bibby.

Police were called by the ambulance service at 6.33am on Tuesday morning after Eliza’s body was found at her home in Beechwood Road.

A post-mortem examination yesterday afternoon (13 January) concluded she died of multiple stab wounds.

A 45-year-old man, of no fixed address, and a 42-year-old woman, from Wisbech, remain in custody at King’s Lynn.

DI Lee Martin, from the Major Crime Unit, said: “I am still urging anyone who has any information to contact us.

“We believe this to have been a targeted attack, however, patrols continue in the local area to ease any concerns residents may have”.

Anyone with information should report online here or via the web chat service and quote Operation Aerospace.

Detective Inspector Lee Martin, from the Major Crime Unit, said: “We believe the woman was killed between 10pm on 9 January and 6am on 10 January.

“I would appeal to anyone with any information to contact us as a matter of urgency.

"I understand this is likely to be concerning to local people, but we do believe it to be an isolated incident.”
