Detectives given extra time to question man arrested over fatal Bulwell stabbing

Detectives have been given extra time to question a man arrested on suspicion of murder following a fatal stabbing in Bulwell.

Police were called to reports of a serious assault around 1.45 pm on Sunday (April 20) at Cinderhill Walk.

A 59-year old man died at the scene, and a 33-year-old woman also sustained significant but not life-threatening injuries during the attack. She remains in hospital.

Shortly afterwards Notts Police arrested two men, aged 30 and 43, both on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.

Detectives have today been granted extra time to question the 43-year-old suspect. The 30-year-old has since been released without charge.

Detective Inspector Clare Gibson, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Police and crime scene officers have been working tirelessly over the Easter weekend to establish the circumstances of this tragic incident. 

“We have now been granted extra time to continue questioning a suspect as part of our investigation and our inquiries are still ongoing, so we’d ask anyone who has any information but hasn’t shared it with us yet to please do so immediately.”

Police have not yet named the man who died.

Information can be passed on anonymously to Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or online.
