On Tuesday, police arrested 31-year-old Renars Geslers in connection to the death of Agita Geslere.
Emergency services were called just after 12.30am to a property on Brierfield Close to reports that Agita had been injured.
On arrival, officers found Agita with serious injuries. She died at hospital a short time later.
A post-mortem examination on Wednesday concluded she died from multiple stab wounds.
