A 53-year-old man has been arrested after a woman’s body was found at a flat on the Isle of Wight.

Police were called at 12.40pm on Sunday to a property in Barton Road, Newport, where they found a body.

Hampshire police have launched an investigation and the scene was cordoned off so that specialist forensic officers could examine the property. Officers have also been carrying out house-to-house inquiries.

A statement posted by Isle of Wight police on Twitter said: “Following the discovery of a woman’s body at a premises in Newport, we have arrested a 53-year-old man, who is helping us with our inquiries.”
