An elderly woman believed to have been murdered in her own home has been named as Rhona Heywood.

Ms Heywood's body was discovered by police in her flat in Horsham shortly before midnight on Saturday.

A neighbour dialled 999 after hearing a scream from the woman's flat at Godwin Court, Jockey Mead on the Needles estate.

Police arrived to find her door unlocked and her lifeless body on the floor.

They have refused to confirm the victim's identity and have not revealed the cause of death, saying she died of multiple injuries.

A man was found near the body. He was later arrested on suspicion of murder and was yesterday being questioned at Crawley police station.

The victim was thought to have lived alone with two cats she rehomed from an animal rescue centre.

She was described by neighbours as kind and caring.
