Police officers were called to a property in the town’s Roberts Street following reports of a disturbance at 10pm on Sunday.
A fifty-eight year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder after a woman was beaten to death and another man left in hospital following a savage attack at a house in Lancashire.
Ishrat Ahmed, 52, died after suffering
head injuries during the brutal assault at a home in Nelson. An unnamed
55-year-old is in a serious but stable condition following the incident.
Both victims were immediately rushed to
the Royal Preston Hospital but Ms Ahmed died on Monday evening.
The 58-year-old suspect, who has not
been named, was detained shortly after the incident.
Detective Chief Inspector Al Davies, of
Lancashire Police, said: “Given this sad development, our focus has now shifted
to a murder investigation and so I am renewing my appeal to anyone with
information about what happened or why, to get in touch.
“We know that there has been a lot of
discussion and some concern within the community, which has led to some rumour.
"I ask for the sake of Mrs Ahmed’s
family, people do not share these comments on social media and instead, if they
think they know something, speak to the police.
“We will continue to have extra patrols
out and about in the area over the next few days and should anyone has
concerns, or information, please approach an officer.
“Again, I would like to thank the community for their co-operation and support during our enquiries so far.”
