THE BODY of a 30-year-old woman has been found at a home after a car crashed into a McDonald’s — leading police to arrest a man on suspicion of murder.
Northamptonshire Police have confirmed that a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman’s body was discovered in Burton Latimer.
Officers said they received reports of a man crashing a blue Skoda Superb at a McDonald’s on Folley Way at around 3.30pm on June 13.
Police arrived at the scene, which led to the discovery of a woman in her 30s found dead at an address on Donnington Road.
The East Midlands Special Operations Unit has launched a murder investigation and is appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
A local resident said they saw forensic teams and a heavy police presence in what is usually a quiet town.
Police said the 35-year-old man arrested remains in custody and confirmed they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the murder.
Neighbourhood policing teams will remain in the area, carrying out regular patrols to reassure the community and encouraging anyone with concerns to speak to them.
