A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman's body was found at a property in Lincolnshire.

Police said they were called to reports of concerns for the safety of a woman at an address on Winsover Road in Spalding shortly after 19:30 GMT on Tuesday.

When officers arrived at the scene they forced entry into the property and found the body of a woman, Lincolnshire Police said.

The force said its investigation was in the early stages and officers would remain in the area for the next few days while the inquiry continued.

Officers urged people not to speculate on the circumstances of the incident.

A spokesperson said: "We understand this may be an unsettling time for local residents and people who know the victim or live in the area.

"Please get in touch with the local Neighbourhood Policing Team if you would like to talk to them."

The force appealed for anyone with information to get in touch.
