A murder investigation has been launched after the death of an elderly woman in the Cotswolds. Gloucestershire constabulary said a man had been arrested on suspicion of murder after the incident in Chipping Campden. The victim and the suspect are believed to be known to each other, and no one else is being sought in connection with the death. Officers were called to High Street shortly after midnight on Friday, where a woman in her 80s was found with head injuries from which she later died. “The next of kin and the coroner have been informed,” a police spokesperson said. “The major crime investigation team is in the early stages of an investigation and officers are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with information to make contact with police. “Those involved in the incident are believed to be known to each other and officers are not currently seeking anyone else in connection with the investigation at this time.” The force later said a 12-hour custody extension had been granted, and detectives now had until Saturday afternoon to continue questioning the man.
