The suspect is still at large
A murder investigation has been launched in Plymouth after the death of a woman who was seriously injured.
Police were called to West Hoe Road at 8.55pm on Wednesday 22 January after the woman, who was in her 40s, was found seriously injured in the street.
She was taken to hospital but was sadly pronounced dead in the early hours of the morning. Her next of kin have been informed.
A large police presence remains in the area with officers conducting extensive enquiries and searches to locate a male suspect, who is believed to have been known to the victim.
DCI Dave Pebworth said: “Cordons will likely remain in place for the rest of the day and police units will remain in the area.
“I wish to make the public aware we are looking to locate a man in relation to this incident whose identity is known, and enquiries are ongoing to find him.
“At this time, I would like to reassure the community and further afield in Plymouth that there is no suggestion that there is a wider risk to members of the public.
“There will be a heightened police presence and visibility in the coming days in the area as enquiries are ongoing. We will of course update the public once we have further information."
