A murder investigation is underway after a woman died at an address in Swindon.

Police were called to the sudden death of a woman, aged in her 40s, at a property in Standen Way, Blunsdon St Andrew, at around 2.30am today.

A 70-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. He is currently in police custody.

There is a large police presence at the location – including several crime scene investigation vans, police vehicles and detectives carrying out door-to-door enquiries.

A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said the woman’s death is being treated as unexplained.
