A murder investigation has been launched after a woman was found dead at an address in Feltham, and a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
The 26-year-old woman was found on the afternoon of Thursday 4 November, when officers visited an address in Chertsey Road to carry out a welfare check. Her next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers. A post-mortem examination will take place in due course, as will formal identification.
Shortly after the discovery, a 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder. He was taken to hospital for treatment, where he remains for observation.
Detective Chief Inspector Sarah Lee, who is leading the investigation, said: “As always, our thoughts remain with the victim’s family at this painful time. We understand an incident of this nature will cause concern for the community. I’d like to reassure them that that we believe this to be an isolated incident, and our officers acted quickly to detain a suspect.”
