Essex: Police launch murder investigation
The death of a woman in Harlow is being treated as murder.
A murder investigation was launched following the conclusion of a post mortem examination.
A 23-year-old man from Harlow has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody.
Police were contacted just before 3am with reports of a woman found with injuries in Howard Way.
The woman, aged in her 20s, was taken by ambulance to Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow where she was sadly later pronounced dead.
Police are investigating the circumstances leading up to the woman’s death and ask anyone with information to contact officers from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate at Harlow on 101.
Police expect to be able to release more information after formal identification today.
