Emneth death not suspicious

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

Officers were called to Emneth, near Wisbech, shortly before 7.30am on Monday 11 September 2023 following a report that the body of a woman, aged in her 60s, 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 deceased as 65-year-old Lesley Page of Lady’s Drove, Emneth.

Officers can also confirm there will be no further action against a man aged in his 60s who was arrested on suspicion of murder and released under investigation while enquiries continued.

Det Insp Alix Wright said: “Following enquires 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.
