Detectives from the Police Service of Northern Ireland’s (PSNI's) Major Investigation Team have launched a murder investigation following the death of a woman in Derry.

Detective Inspector Michelle Griffin from the Team said: “Officers attended a property in the Summer Meadows Mews area of the city at around 10.20 am and located an injured woman at the scene.

“She was taken to hospital by our colleagues in the NIAS where she sadly died," added Detective Inspector Griffin.

“A 30-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

“Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones, who are left trying to come to terms with this shocking loss.

 “Our enquiries are continuing, and I am appealing to anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to contact our officers on 101 quoting reference 469 – 21/03/26.”

Information can also be provided, with total anonymity, to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org
