A man has been charged with the murder of a woman found dead in a bungalow in Crawley.

The body of 32-year-old Holly Sanchez was discovered in Oates Walk at around 9am on Saturday (May 13th).

A post-mortem has revealed she died of serious head injuries.

Sussex Police said Holly was from Crawley, but was not living at the address at the time of her death.

30-year-old Ryan Evans, also of Oates Walk, was one of three men arrested following the incident.

He was remanded in custody and appeared before Crawley Magistrates Court on Tuesday (May 16th).

Evans is due to appear for a hearing at Lewes Crown Court tomorrow.

The two other men arrested, a 37-year-old and a 60-year-old from Crawley, have since been released on conditional bail.

The investigation is ongoing and Sussex Police is urging anyone with information to report it online or call 101, quoting Operation Gladstone.
