Paramedics tried to save her but she died at the scene from injuries to her head and body.
Detective Superintendent Tracy Hawkings said officers were keeping an open mind about the motive of the attack.
But she added "We are conscious that the dress of the victim will have identified her as likely being a Muslim and this is one of the main lines of the investigation, but again there is no firm evidence at this time that she was targeted because of her religion"
The murder took place in Colchester
A 52-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident.
Detectives want to hear from anyone who used the trail between 8:30am and 11am on the day of the killing.
