A woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man was found dead.

Police were called to a property in Church Road in Stockton at about 07:00 BST after paramedics attended the scene.

A 57-year-old woman was arrested and remains in police custody, Cleveland Police said.

Det Ch Insp Daryll Tomlinson appealed to witnesses or anyone with information to contact the force.

The family of the man who died have been contacted and are being supported by specially trained officers. A cordon has been put up at the scene.

"There will be a visible policing presence in the area and I'd encourage anyone who is concerned or holds information to please speak to them," Tomlinson said.
