Officers were alerted to an incident on Princes Road at 9.11am on Saturday 20 January 2024 after receiving information that the body of a woman was inside a property.
They attended the address where a woman, aged in her 30s, was discovered.
An initial Home Office post-mortem examination was conducted on Saturday (20 January 2024). While further tests are required, preliminary findings show the woman’s death was consistent with compression to the neck.
A man was arrested on suspicion of murder and taken to Great Yarmouth Police Investigation Centre for questioning.

Detective Inspector Alix Wright said: “We continue with our enquiries to understand the full circumstances which led to Tara’s death and would urge anyone who may have seen or heard anything in the days leading up to Saturday morning, to get in touch.
“We believe this to be an isolated incident and both parties were known to one another.”
Detectives are continuing to appeal for any witnesses who may have seen or heard any suspicious activity in the Princes Road area to come forward.
