Woman found dead at property named by police

Police have named a woman whose death has prompted a murder inquiry in West Yorkshire.

Officers attended a property Ken Churchill Drive in Horbury, near Wakefield, on 5 March after the force received a concern for safety report of a woman there.

A body was found at the property and a police spokesperson said although a formal identification had not taken place, the person was believed to be 37-year-old Carolann Barraclough.

A 45-year-old man, who was arrested on suspicion of her murder on Thursday, remains in police custody.

Det Ch Insp Stacey Atkinson said: "Complex inquiries remain ongoing at Ken Churchill Drive and will be for a number of days as we investigate what has taken place there.

"Work to formally ID the woman found at the address remains ongoing, but we do think it is Carolann, and specially trained officers continue to support her family.

"We recognise this incident will cause concern locally and I can advise residents we are not seeking anyone else in connection with the matter."
