A mother of two was killed as she prepared for a party to celebrate her divorce.
The body of Katrina Jones, 34, was found with stab wounds on Friday afternoon in her home after police received reports of a domestic disturbance.
Neighbours watched as her ex-husband Brian Jones, 63, was led crying from the house in handcuffs.
Earlier that day Miss Jones had put banners reading 'Divorce Party' in the windows of the house in Marske, near Middlesbrough.

Neighbours said the nine-year marriage had run into trouble last year and Mrs Jones, a housewife, filed for divorce this February.
The couple had an 11-year-old son, while Mrs Jones also had an 18-year-old son from a previous relationship who does not live with the family.
Neighbours said it was the third marriage for bodybuilding nightclub bouncer Mr Jones.
They claimed he had a flat elsewhere but had moved in with an elderly neighbour next door to his former wife.
One neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said: 'By about 3.10pm the street was swarming with police officers and I knew something serious had happened because there was a forensic team in white suits. No one knows how she died yet but we are all absolutely shocked.
'She was a really bubbly woman and she had moved on from the split with Brian - she had a new partner.

'Brian was arrested in the house, but I don't know what happened. He is 5ft 11in but really wide, and she was 5ft if that and quite slight.
'Her sons are going to be devastated.'

He added: 'Katrina and Brian were married for nine years and as long as I have known them, they have lived together.

'But last year, there was trouble and Katrina filed for divorce in February this year.

'Brian bought Katrina a brand new car in October last year but when they split up she had to give it back.'

A female neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: 'Katrina had been asking for a couple of weeks where she could get a divorce party banner from because she wanted one for Friday night.
'She had been in a really good mood that week - she always had a smile on her face anyway. Her and Brian split up because Katrina fell out of love with Brian.
'I think he took it hard and he couldn't accept it was over.'

As floral tributes were left outside the house last night, Mrs Jones's mother, Jean Evans, paid tribute to her in a statement released by Cleveland Police.
She said: 'Katrina was always happy and enjoyed her life. She was a person who would do anything for anybody.'
Tributes were also paid to Mrs Jones on social networking website Facebook.
One friend, Jane Curran, wrote: 'Gone but never forgotten, we will always remember your smiling face and infectious laugh.'
A Cleveland Police spokesman said: 'Police were called to a house just after 3pm on Friday after reports of a domestic-related incident.
'They discovered the body of a woman in the house. She had suffered fatal stab wounds.
'The victim has been named as Katrina Jones, 34.'
A 63-year-old local man has been charged with murder and is due to appear before magistrates in Middlesbrough today.
