South Wales Police's Major Crime Team have launched a murder investigation following the discovery of a woman’s body at an address in Townhill, Swansea on Thursday (February 27th).
47-year-old Leanne Williams was found by police officers in her home on Gomer Road at approximately 2pm.
A Home Office Post Mortem- which was carried out in the days that followed- identified significant injuries consistent with an assault.
Two men have been arrested as part of the investigation and they are currently in police custody.
A police cordon remains in place at the address in Gomer Road.
Detective Superintendent Mark O’Shea, said: “This tragic news has come as shock to the local community and of course is devastating for her family who we are supporting.
“We have a team of officers working around the clock on this investigation and I can confirm that we have two men in police custody - at this time we aren’t looking for anybody else.
“We are piecing together Leanne’s last known movements from 6pm on Monday, February 24th, to 2.20pm the following Thursday when she was found by officers.
“Anyone who lives in or who has travelled through Gomer Road or surrounding areas during this time are asked to check their private CCTV or dashcam footage for anything that may be relevant.
"It doesn’t matter how insignificant it may seem.
"We particularly want to hear from people who knew Leanne and who have not yet spoken with officers.
“The community will have noticed police activity in the area and this is to reassure residents who we know are concerned and to speak to them to see if they have information which may assist us.”
