Police name suspect in Middlesbrough domestic death Police arrest suspect in Middlesbrough domestic death
(about 4 hours later)
Police have named a man wanted in connection with the death of a woman following a domestic incident. Police who launched a manhunt after the discovery of a woman's body arrested a 47-year-old man in Middlesbrough town centre on suspicion of murder.
Officers are trying to trace Graham Barry Gibson after a body was found at an address on the Brambles Farm estate in Middlesbrough at 1am. Cleveland police issued a photograph and a warning for the public not to approach Graham Barry Gibson after a body was found in Middlesbrough on Monday morning.
A police spokeswoman said: "Members of the public are asked not to approach this man but to contact Cleveland police on 999 if they see him." A police spokeswoman said: "A man is currently in police custody and inquiries are ongoing at this time."
In a photo released by police the wanted man has dark hair and is wearing a black tracksuit top. They have not yet named the victim. Local reports suggest she may have been from the Hartlepool area.
Earlier they said the suspect was white, in his 40s, around 6ft 2in and of proportionate build. Officers were called to the council estate early on Monday. They cordoned off several streets around the brick-built terrace and put up a white forensics tent in the front yard.
A spokeswoman said: "He has short, dark brown hair and was last seen wearing a chequered shirt, dark jeans and black trainers. Police believe this has been a targeted, domestic-related incident." Several hours later, they said they wanted to speak to Graham Barry Gibson in connection with the incident but urged members of the public not to approach him. Some residents said they were awoken by officers as they conducted door-to-door inquiries.
The scene was heavily guarded by police and a white forensics tent had been set up in the front yard of the brick-built terrace house. One woman, who lives a few doors from the scene, said: "I was woken at about 4am and the police came round to talk to us.
One woman in a nearby property, who declined to be named, said: "All I saw were lots of blue lights and this morning they said someone had been murdered – a lass, I think. It's a good estate, you don't expect this." "It's just rumours flying round at the moment. This is a quiet road of the estate. It's mainly older people who live here. Everyone just keeps themselves to themselves."
Another resident, who lives a few doors away, said: "I was woken at about 4am and the police came round to talk to us. It's just rumours flying round at the moment.
"This is a quiet road of the estate. It's mainly older people who live here. Everyone just keeps themselves to themselves."
The terraced street overlooks the Middlesbrough-to-Redcar trunk road and forms part of one of Middlesbrough's biggest council estates.
