Chief Superintendent Chris Balmer said: 'Clearly we are still in the early stages of our investigation and our enquiries remain ongoing.

'However, it appears that the suspect and the victim were known to each other and we do not believe there to be any threat to the wider public.'

A cordon has been put in place at the address while officers carry out their enquiries.
