Murder arrests after woman found dead at house

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of murdering a 32-year-old woman who was found dead at a house.

Police said they were called at 07:37 BST on Thursday to a report that the body of Samantha Murphy had been found at the property in Wadham Road, Portsmouth.

Two 32-year-old men, from Havant and Petersfield, are in custody, officers said.

As part of the inquiry, detectives have appealed to trace a gold suitcase which they said could be in the Portsmouth area.

Ch Insp Fifi Gulam-Husen said: "We understand that this is a concerning incident for the local community and specialist officers are working as a priority to establish the full circumstances.

"The neighbourhood policing team will be carrying out regular patrols in the area and anyone with questions or concerns can speak to these uniformed officers."
