A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman’s body was found in water at a country park in Suffolk.

Police were called by the ambulance service shortly before 7am on Friday following the discovery of the body at Brandon Country Park.

Suffolk Police said a 46-year-old suspect, detained at about 12.15pm, had been taken to Bury St Edmunds police investigation centre for questioning.

“We understand this will have shocked and alarmed many people but officers will remain at the scene over the coming days and extra patrols are taking place to provide reassurance.

“We would like to thank local residents who have so far assisted us with this investigation.”
