POLICE ISSUE NEW APPEAL OVER DEATH OF JACKIE, 63
WOMAN FOUND WITH SERIOUS INJURIES DIED LATER IN CITY HOSPITAL
POLICE yesterday made a fresh appeal over the death of a woman in Blaby.
Jacqueline Murphy, known as Jackie, was found with serious injuries inside a house this week and died in hospital.
A WOMAN who died after she was found with serious injuries in a house in Blaby earlier this week was named by police yesterday.
Jacqueline Murphy was taken to Leicester Royal Infirmary from the home in Chapel Street, on Monday night but later died of her injuries. Police released a photograph of the 63-year-old, who was known as Jackie.
Detectives have questioned a 62-year-old man, whom the force confirmed was “known to” the dead woman.
Yesterday evening he was released on conditional bail.
Officers were called to the house at 10.30pm by paramedics who were treating the seriously injured Mrs Murphy.
A cordon remained in place at the property yesterday and inquiries “remain ongoing”, the force said.
Officers are continuing to appeal for anyone with any information, and who has not yet spoken to police, to make contact.
Detective Inspector Kenny Henry, who is leading the investigation, said: “Our inquiries to establish the full circumstances of the incident remain very much ongoing and we continue to ask anyone who may have any information which could assist us to please get in touch.
“While we understand the incident happened inside a property, anyone who was in the area on Monday afternoon or evening may have information that could help our investigation.
“Did you see or hear anything in the area that caused you any concern? Do you have any CCTV or dashcam footage from the area?
