Police investigate “unexplained” death of woman

Police officers are investigating the unexplained death of a woman.

Suffolk Police said they were called to Mottram Close in Ipswich at around 9.30pm (CEST) on Sunday “by a member of the public with concerns”.

When officers arrived at the property, they found a dead woman in her 60s. Her death is considered unexplained but suspicious.

A man in his 40s was arrested on suspicion of murder and taken to Martlesham Police Investigation Centre for questioning, where he remains.

An autopsy is scheduled to take place later.

Det Supt Nicola Wallace said: “We understand this incident may cause concern locally. However, officers are treating it as an isolated incident and both the deceased and the suspect knew each other.

“In cases where there is an unexplained death that gives us sufficient cause for concern, it is vital that we follow all due procedures and fully investigate the circumstances.”

Police are asking anyone with information that may be useful to the investigation to call 101.
