Man, 21, arrested after woman, 39, found dead in flat in Belfast

A 39-year-old woman has been found dead in a flat in Belfast.

Police were called to an address at Hayworth Avenue in the south of the city around 1.45am last night where her body was discovered.

A 21-year-old male has been arrested as part of the investigation and has been taken to Musgrave Police Station for questioning, Belfast Live reports.

Detective Chief Inspector Darren McCartney said: "A post-mortem examination will take place in due course to determine the cause of death however I am treating her death as suspicious at this time." 

He added: "I am appealing for anyone who was in the area of Haywood Avenue late last night or early this morning and who seen or heard anything to contact detectives from the Major Investigation Team at Ladas Drive Police Station on 101 quoting reference 106 22/04/20.

"Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.”
