Police satisfied that death of Emneth woman Lesley Page is not suspicious as no further action to be taken against arrested man

Police investigating the death of a woman in a West Norfolk village have said they are satisfied that there are no suspicious circumstances.

Officers were called to Emneth shortly before 7.30am on Monday, September 11 following a report that the body of a woman, aged in her 60s – later identified as Lesley Page – had been found at a property in Lady’s Drove.

A Home Office post-mortem examination established the cause of death as gunshot wounds to the torso.

Pending formal coroner’s inquest proceedings, police provisionally identified the dead woman as 65-year-old Mrs Page of Lady’s Drove, Emneth.

Officers have also today confirmed that there will be no further action taken against a man, also in his 60s, who was arrested on suspicion of murder and released under investigation while enquiries continued.

Det Insp Alix Wright said: “Following enquiries that have been ongoing since September, we can now confirm that Lesley’s death is no longer being treated as suspicious and that no further action is being taken against a man arrested in connection with her death.

“Understandably this has been an incredibly difficult time for Lesley’s family who have been informed of the outcome.”

A file is being prepared for the coroner.
