POLICE say they are still questioning a man on suspicion of murdering a Norton Fitzwarren woman.

A 27-year-old man from the village is being quizzed by detectives in custody at Bridgwater in connection with the death of a middle-aged woman in Hilly Park.

Her body was discovered by officers, who broke into her house on Tuesday evening after her employers reported she had not turned up for work.

The suspect was originally arrested by Devon and Cornwall Police following a road traffic accident on suspicion of drink driving and unlawfully taking a vehicle.

He was then handed over to Avon and Somerset Police to be quizzed about the suspected murder.
