Man arrested on suspicion of murdering Emneth woman Lesley Page is released under investigation

The man arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of a woman in Emneth has been released under investigation.

Earlier today, police preliminary named 65-year-old Lesley Page as the woman found at a Lady’s Drove property on Monday morning.

A man in his 60s was arrested on the same day, with detectives from the Norfolk and Suffolk Major Investigation Team questioning him at Lynn Police Investigation Centre since then.

Detectives applied for a warrant of further detention at Norwich Magistrates’ Court yesterday, and were granted extra time to question the man.

He has now been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

A Home Office post-mortem examination was held yesterday, with provisional results showing the cause of Mrs Page’s death as gunshot wounds to the torso.

Senior investigating officer Alix Wright said: “We are still working to establish the circumstances that led to Mrs Page’s death.

“We are not currently looking for anyone else in connection with this incident, however, we are keeping an open mind and the investigation continues to establish the full facts.”

Anyone with information has been urged to contact the Norfolk and Suffolk Major Investigation Team on 101 quoting reference 36/65290/23, or alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 08000 555 111.
