Both properties in Bull Rush Crescent and Bockhill Road were cordoned off today while scene of crime officers examined the area.
Police cars parked at either end of Bull Rush Crescent, a quiet residential street, and were stopping all traffic from entering the road, to protect the crime scene.
A policewoman guarded the home which had been the scene of the crime. The homes on the crescent are all newly-built modern developments, part of the Tayfen Meadows scheme.
The murder scene is around 300 yards away from the King Edward VI Upper School, and the Cambridge to Ipswich railway line passes nearby.
Any witnesses who could help police with their enquiries should call Suffolk Police on 01473 613500.
