A woman has died after being found with stab wounds.
Emergency services were called to Burrell Road in Ipswich, Suffolk, just after 7.10pm yesterday after the victim was found with serious injuries.
The woman was treated at the scene but died a short time after the emergency services attended.
Police cordoned off the scene and the road is closed to traffic at both ends.
A manhunt is underway for the attacker, who police believe was known to the victim, and there have been no arrests.
Detective Chief Inspector Tam Burgess said: ‘Emergency services, including a number of police resources, were deployed to the scene and those in the area will continue to see an increased police presence throughout tonight and the coming days.
‘A murder investigation has been launched and we are in the early stages of our enquiries to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident, however it is believed the parties are known to each other.
‘We would like to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has any information, no matter how small you may feel it is.’
