Detectives in Britain were questioning a man on suspicion of murder today after a woman was stabbed to death in a hospital car park in Lancashire.

The 26-year-old victim, who media reports said was a nurse, was attacked as she approached her car in the staff car park of the Blackpool Victoria Hospital yesterday evening.

She was taken to the hospital's emergency unit but died. Detectives, who said the victim might have known her assailant, arrested a 30-year-old man this morning and he is now in custody.

"We have launched a murder inquiry following this incident and I would appeal for anyone with information to get in touch with us as a matter of urgency," said Detective Chief Inspector Neil Esseen.
