A 73-year-old woman who was killed at a house in the Wombwell area of
Barnsley has been named as Jill Hibberd, as detectives continue with
enquiries.
At around 7.45am on Thursday 31 May, emergency services were called to a
house in Roy Kilner Road, following reports that a woman’s body had been
found in the living room of the property.
Formal identification has now taken place and the woman has been named as
Jill Hibberd. While Jill is not thought to have any immediate family, she
has a number of close friends who have been informed and are being supported
by specially trained officers.
A post-mortem examination has concluded that Jill died as a result of
multiple stab wounds and officers have arrested a 40-year-old Barnsley man
on suspicion of her murder. He remains in police custody.
Officers are looking for a red Audi TT, registration number YM17 SYJ, which
was taken from the driveway of Jill’s home at 9pm on Wednesday night, 30
May.
Detective Chief Inspector Jude Ashmore, the Senior Investigating Officer,
said: “Our thoughts are with Jill’s friends at this sad time. Detectives
continue to work tirelessly to build a picture of Jill’s background and
determine the events that led to her death, which was reported to us on
Thursday.
“Our forensic team has also been hard at work but I cannot stress enough how
important it is for anyone with information about what happened to Jill, who
is responsible for her death and any sightings of her Audi, contact us
immediately.”
Any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could prove vital
to the investigation. If you can help, please call 101 and quote incident
number 141 of 31 May 2018. You can also call our incident room directly on

Traders are busy preparing for the move into The Glass Works following the hugely successful move of meat and fish traders into the Barnsley Market Food Hall at the start of September. And today, Barnsley Council is delighted to announce that almost all of the stalls in the market will be occupied on the first day of trading with the remainder opening over the next few months. Fifty-three stalls will set up on the ground floor of the market on opening day with others moving in before the end of the year. Upstairs, 32 of the 40 units will be occupied. The remaining eight are set to be let before the end of the year. The opening of Barnsley Market Hall – a momentous occasion in the market’s rich history – will take place on May Day Green on Friday 2 November with an official opening a day later on Saturday 3 November. The first exciting details about the occasion can now be revealed. The Mayor of Barnsley, Councillor Steve Green, will ring the traditional market bell after a speech from Leader of Barnsley Council, Sir Steve Houghton. We’ll be celebrating the history of Barnsley Market with your market memories – while there will also be family entertainment, promotions, competitions and special guest appearances. The move of market traders into the new Market Hall represents a huge milestone in The Glass Works project. Traders from Market Parade will leave their temporary home underneath the multi-storey car park after trading on Saturday 20 October. May Day Green Market will remain open until Saturday 27 October. They will move into the new Market Hall – a bright, modern and spacious market setting more akin to a department store. The new market will also feature extended opening hours and Thursday openings. Meanwhile, market cafes are preparing to move into Market Kitchen later in the month with more details on the move and flagship food court to be announced soon. Councillor Roy Miller, Cabinet Spokesperson for Place, said: “The opening of Barnsley Market Hall will be a fantastic occasion. We’re extremely excited to welcome the traders into The Glass Works and right back into the heart of Barnsley town centre. “The redevelopment of our town centre is built around our famous market. Barnsley has had a market since 1249; it’s what we’re famous for and that’s why the new market is at the centre of The Glass Works. People from far and wide will want to visit the famous Barnsley Market and celebrate what’s sure to be a fantastic next chapter in its rich history. “I want to urge local people to come out and support our brilliant market traders in the Market Hall and Food Hall, both for the opening and moving forward into the future.” Following the market’s move into The Glass Works, the temporary building on May Day Green will be dismantled and sold on, while Market Parade will come down with the multi-storey car park in January. The opening of Barnsley Market Hall – together with the Food Hall – is part of the multi-million pound redevelopment of Barnsley town centre, which includes The Glass Works, markets, public realm, Library @ The Lightbox and Market Gate Bridge.
