A WOMAN has been arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice, as the investigation into the death of Jill Hibberd continues.

The 31-year-old woman, from the Wombwell area, was arrested yesterday and has since been released under investigation.

Miss Hibberd, 73, was found dead at her home on Roy Kilner Road, on Thursday May 31 at around 7.45am.

A post-mortem examination concluded she died as a result of multiple stab wounds.

A 22-year-old man was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of murder, burglary and theft and released under investigation.

Lee Trevor Fueloep, 40, of Willow Garth, Wombwell, was charged with murder and burglary on Sunday June 4. He remains in custody until he is due at Sheffield Crown Court later this month.
