A man found dead in a house in Southampton has been named by police.

The body of 43-year-old Slawomir Robert Turek was discovered in Mansel Road West, Millbrook, shortly after 6.00am on Wednesday.

A 49-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of murder has been released while investigations continue.

A Hampshire Police spokesperson said: "We have been in contact with Slawomir’s next of kin and his family is being supported by specialist officers at this time.

"Officers have been at the scene on Mansel Road West since Slawomir’s body was found, carrying out initial enquiries and making house to house visits.

"As part of our enquiries into the circumstances surrounding his death, we arrested a 49-year-old woman on suspicion of murder.

"The woman has now been questioned by officers, and she has been released under investigation to allow for us to make further enquiries."

His family have paid tribute: “Slawomir, known as Slawek, was a loving son, brother and, above all, father.

“He was a proud Polish man who took care of the needs and problems of the people he loved more than his own.

“Farewell from your family and friends. You will always be in our hearts and memories. Rest in peace Slawek.”
