Forensic officers have searched a property in Ramsgate in connection with a murder enquiry following the death of a woman in Margate during the early hours of yesterday (July 16).
Officers gained entry into the West Dumpton Lane house yesterday afternoon by forcing in the back door. Forensic officers have been on site and an officer is posted at the front gate.
Door to door enquiries have taken place at surrounding properties with officers hoping to trace anyone who saw suspicious activity between around 3.25am to 4.30am yesterday (July 16). Police also want to trace any sightings of a white Vauxhall Mokka near the property at that time and are asking for CCTV footage or doorbell camera footage.
Two people were arrested yesterday in connection with the murder of a woman in Elfrida Close, Margate.
Kent Police officers were called at around 3.10am to a report that a woman had been assaulted at the property.
Officers attended the address with Southeast Coast Ambulance Service and the victim, a woman in her 30s, was found with stab wounds. She was later pronounced deceased at a local hospital.
Investigators from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of murder. A woman in her 20s was also arrested on suspicion of murder and assisting an offender. Both remain in custody while enquiries continue.
It is believed that the victim and the suspects were known to each other.
Officers are at the property in Margate for a second day. They have already spoken with several potential witnesses but believe there are several people who have important information who are yet to get in contact.
Forensic teams have also been at a property in Queen Street, Ramsgate, although it is not confirmed whether this is also connected to the Margate investigation.
Anyone with information which can assist is urged to contact Kent Police on 01843 222289 quoting 46/136649/22.

try putting some spin on this one ?
It’s a waste of lives and after all we have had to live with in the last surreal few months is it me or are we losing sight of what matters in favour of a swipe , murder, move on mentality.
Sad that our lovely towns in Thanet get tarnished by these tragic goings on.
Perhaps “real world” could give other readers some helpful tips about how to “put a spin” on a murder. Or perhaps he or she could take things seriously for a change.
and perhaps you might stop saying things like this dont happen in thanet? and is it strange that your the one that bit as usual ?
Do you think it’s appropriate to use this dreadful news as a “hook” to get people to “bite”?
I think your comment speaks volumes about you, none of them complimentary.
NOBODY has said that “things like this don’t happen in Thanet”. And as I am one of the people who writes realistic things about crime and punishment, then it is not at all strange if I comment on this article.
Meanwhile, the police are doing their utmost to find out what and why this murder has occurred.
“how and why”
Sometime ago I remember seeing a comment saying why are knives sold with a point? In fact there is no need for knives to have points, that I can think of, and the best carving knife I have had for years is a bread knife, it cuts anything, but it would be impossible to stab someone with it!
I’m saddened how infantile some commenters are in here.
The lady was stabbed to her death and you show no remorse at all.
Shame on you.
Rest in peace.. Pronounced dead at a hospital. Go fly with angels.. No one deserves to be stabbed to death.
Cut knife crime.. Out of our lives!
