DETECTIVES are questioning a woman arrested on suspicion of murder after reports of a concern for welfare of two people.
The 35-year-old remains in custody after officers attended an address in Great Baddow, Essex, shortly after midday on Friday.
Essex Police's investigation is still in the early stages and they remain at the scene on Pump Hill this evening.
Detective Superintendent Rob Kirby, of Essex and Kent Serious Crime Directorate, said: "Our enquiries are ongoing, and it would be wrong to speculate while we work to build a clear picture.
“However, I can emphasise at this stage that we know this is very much an isolated matter and there is no wider risk or threat to the public in Chelmsford."
The force is encouraging anyone with information to get in touch, this can be done via Essex Police's dedicated public portal.
