A woman - believed to be 37 years old and from Southmead - has died in the Bristol suburb, with police saying investigations into how she died continue.

On Tuesday night (May 16), at just before 20:10, officers were called out to an address in Greystoke Gardens by the ambulance service.

She hasn't yet been formally identified, however her next of kin have now been told - and are being supported by a specialist officer.

The incident is being treated as suspicious, and police are waiting for further post-mortem examinations to establish the cause of her death.

Initial examinations were found to be 'inconclusive'.

A man in his fifties of no fixed address was arrested from the address in connection with the investigation on Tuesday night.

He remains in police custody after officers obtained a warrant of further detention from the court today (May 18).

There'll be an increased police presence around Greystoke Gardens while enquiries continue.

Anyone with concerns is urged to speak to officers at the scene.

Investigators are keen to hear from anyone who was in the Greystoke Gardens area between Monday evening 15 May and Tuesday night, and is yet to speak with officers, especially who has dashcam or other footage.
