Murder investigation launched in Surrey

A murder investigation has been launched after the death of a woman in Ashford in Surrey.

Surrey Police say they were called out to an address on Woodthorpe Road on Thursday afternoon (16 January) following a report of a concern for safety.

A woman in her 20s and a two-year-old girl were found at the address with very serious injuries.

Despite the effort of paramedics the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

A man in his 30s has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.
