A man has been charged with murder following the death of a 39-year-old woman in Newquay.
Michelle Anne Jenkinson was found in Rawley Lane at around 1.20am yesterday with numerous stab wounds. Her next of kin have been told.
A 52-year-old man was arrested shortly afterwards and taken to Newquay police station for questioning.
He has since been charged with murder and will appear before Bodmin Magistrates’ Court today.
A police spokesman said: “Local officers have stepped up high-visibility public reassurance patrols around the area of the incident. We would remind the community of Newquay that this type of crime is extremely rare in Devon and Cornwall and that the suspect and the victim knew each other.”
