A police cordon is in place around the graveyard of a church in Norwich.
Officers remain at the scene at St Mark's Church in City Road in the Lakenham area of the city.
Tape has been erected around a section of the graveyard and police continue to observe the area.
UPDATE: Man stabbed in city churchyard
A bicycle could be seen in the middle of the graveyard as well as some belongings.
One 80-year-old woman, who did not wish to be named, has lived in City Road for 30 years and said she has never seen a scene like it before.
She added: "There have been a few issues with drugs in the area but I generally feel safe.
"I often walk through the churchyard to get to Hall Road and will continue doing so even after this. It is out of character because it is a good street to live on with nice neighbours."
Another woman living opposite the churchyard, who has lived in City Road for 20 years, said: "It's a surprise but historically the churchyard has always been where people went for a drink. They congregate around Ber Street.
"People hang out in the churchyard but that is probably the same with any of them in Norwich. They can congregate without being disturbed."
