Essex murder: Woman arrested after ‘concern’ for two people in house | UK News

A 35-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder after reports of concern for the welfare of two people at a house.

Police arrested the woman, from Chelmsford, after attending an address in Pump Hill, Great Baddow, Essex shortly after midday yesterday.

The woman remains in custody, while police are investigating.

Officers were still at the scene last night.

Detective Superintendent Rob Kirby, of Essex and Kent Serious Crime Directorate, said: ‘Our enquiries are ongoing, and it would be wrong to speculate while we work to build a clear picture.

‘However, I can emphasise at this stage that we know this is very much an isolated matter and there is no wider risk or threat to the public in Chelmsford.’

‘We’re encouraging anyone with information to get in touch.’

An Essex police spokesperson said last night: ‘Detectives are questioning a woman arrested on suspicion of murder after reports of concern for the welfare of two people.

‘A 35-year-old woman, from Chelmsford, remains in custody this evening after officers attended an address in Pump Hill, Great Baddow, shortly after midday.’

They said the investigation was at an early stage but officers were making ‘fast progress’.
