Two men have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman was found dead.

Police officers were called to a home in Meols Cop Road in Southport at about 18:00 GMT on Wednesday after the ambulance service reported a woman, in her 50s, had been found.

Merseyside Police said it was currently treating her death as "unexplained" but "inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances".

A 48-year-old man from Kirkdale and a 60-year-old man from Ainsdale were arrested but have since been released on bail.
