The wife of an elderly Cornish doctor is being quizzed in hospital by police after he was found stabbed to death at the couple's coastal home.
Officers are talking to the 58-year-old, believed to be married to the victim, who has non-life threatening injuries from what has been called a "domestic incident".
The deceased has been named locally as Gary Hughes, who had lived in Feock, Cornwall for a number of years and was a GP in the Camborne and Redruth area.
It is understood he had recently held a party for friends, family and neighbours to celebrate his 60th birthday.
Police and paramedics were called to the couple's home around at 7.40am, where inside they found the body of a man with stab wounds to the chest. He was pronounced dead shortly afterwards.

"An investigation had now begun to fully understand the circumstances and events leading up to this man's death."
Neighbour Chris Young said: "When it comes so close to your doorstep it is very worrying. This is a very quiet area with very few passers-by."
