Man Held After Discovery Of 80-Year-Old Woman's Body
A 37-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the suspected murder of an 80-year-old woman in Southhampton.
The woman’s body was discovered at her home in Ocean Village by family members on Saturday night.
A wide area around her home has been cordoned off with some 60 detectives involved in the investigation.
Detective Superintendent Rachel Farrell, leading the investigation, was quoted in the guardian saying: "I would like to reassure residents and those who visit this area that this is an extremely rare incident which is expected to have a huge impact on the local community. There is a significant police presence in the area and this is likely to remain over the coming days. This may cause some disruption to local residents and we therefore ask for their support and understanding.
"Due to the waterfront location of the address, we would extend our appeal to the transient boating and sailing community who may have attended the Cowes Week celebrations on Friday or sailed into or out of Ocean Village during the weekend as they may have seen something, no matter how insignificant it might appear to be, that will assist us."
