Following the tragic death of a woman, a murder inquiry has been initiated, prompting police to establish multiple cordons in various locations across Nottinghamshire.
Last night at 10:07 pm, law enforcement responded to a residence in Carlton after receiving reports about a person’s safety. Subsequently, a 40-year-old man was taken into custody. Upon arrival, emergency services found a woman in her twenties deceased on-site.
The authorities have now escalated the case to a murder investigation and are urging any potential witnesses to step forward with pertinent information. Forensic teams have been present at the scene since early morning, with ongoing activity at the location on Westdale Lane West and Woodborough Road.
The current situation involves three cordons in place: Westdale Lane East in Carlton, where the incident originated, Westdale Lane West where the victim was discovered, and in Mapperley and Oxclose Lane, Bestwood. Officials have assured the public that there is no imminent danger, labeling the event as an “isolated incident.”
Detective Inspector Stuart Barson, leading the investigation, expressed condolences to the woman’s family and friends. Specialized officers are providing support to the bereaved. A dedicated team is diligently advancing the inquiry and urging anyone with potentially relevant footage or information to come forward.
“Additional patrols will be conducted in the vicinity, ensuring heightened police presence as we progress our investigations. We believe this incident to be isolated, with no broader threat to public safety,” reassured Detective Inspector Barson.
