    Yarmouth Road is closed from the Pound Lane junction following the alleged murder

    Officers remain at both locations and Yarmouth Road is expected to be closed for several hours from its junction with Pound Lane to the junction with School Avenue.

    Det Supt Stacey Murray said: “We are in the early stages of this investigation, working to establish the sequence of events which led to the woman’s death.

    “However, we do believe this to be an incident in which both parties are known to each other.”

    She appealed for anyone with information to get in touch.
