POLICE have issued an urgent appeal for anyone with information about the “murder” of a woman in Farncombe on Sunday morning, to come forward.

Enquiries are continuing after a woman was found with serious injuries after officers were called to a Waverley Borough Council-owned house in Wey Court at around 9.20am, following reports of a concern for safety.

The victim was treated at the scene by paramedics but was pronounced dead at around 10.10am.

A man, who was at the same address when police arrived, was also injured.

The man, aged 57, was arrested on suspicion of murder and taken to hospital. He remains in hospital where he is receiving treatment for his injuries.

Formal identification of the dead woman was not expected to take place until later this week.

Detective Chief Inspector Jo Hayes from the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, who is leading the investigation, said: “We would like to speak to anyone who saw anyone going into or coming out of the house the night before and the morning of the incident.

“Any information, no matter how insignificant it might seem, could be useful so please get in touch if you think you can help.”

Anyone with any information which could assist their enquiries is asked to contact Surrey Police on 101 – you can also call Crimestoppers, free and anonymously if you wish, on 0800 555111.
