POLICE have launched a murder investigation after officers were called to a home in Grovehill at 2.43am today (Monday).
A woman was pronounced dead at the scene in The Wye, while a 41-year-old man, who is currently being treated in hospital, has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
The couple are believed to come from Poland but have lived in Hemel Hempstead for several years.
Reports from neighbours suggest the pair’s two young daughters and the man’s teenage son were in the three-storey house at the time of the alleged killing.
A police spokesman said: “A man was taken to hospital and is receiving treatment but is in a stable condition.”
