A family have paid tribute to a “one in a million” mother after she was killed at an address in Worcester.
West Mercia Police were called to Haresfield Close at around 8.30pm on Saturday, 2 March and found Wendy Francis, 61, who was pronounced dead.
Another woman, aged 38, was found with life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital, where she remains in a critical condition.
Although she is yet to be formally identified, Ms Francis’ family said through West Mercia Police: “Wendy will be hugely missed; she was one in a million and much-loved.”
A 50-year-old man remains in police custody after being arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.
Detective Chief Inspector Leighton Harding of the Major Investigation Unit said: “I understand that incidents of this nature can be alarming, but I would like to reassure the local community that this was an isolated incident and there is no wider risk to the public.
“You will notice a higher police presence in the area in the coming days as officers investigate this incident.
"Our thoughts are with the family of the woman who has sadly lost her life.”
