AN inquest is set to be opened and adjourned into the stabbing death of a 38-year-old mother of three.

Mary Griffiths was found fighting for her life from a stab wound at her house in Bullrush Crescent, Bury St Edmunds, when police arrived last Wednesday.

Ms Griffiths later died at West Suffolk Hospital in Bury of a deep chest wound.

An inquest into her death will be opened and adjourned on Friday at the Active Business Centre in Bury.

A 40-year-old man was arrested by police in Bockhill Road, Bury, on suspicion of murder but has since been released into the care of Suffolk Mental Health Partnership Trust after he was deemed unfit to be questioned.
