A murder investigation has been launched after a woman in her 30s was discovered dead next to a vehicle on a country road.
The woman’s cause of death is currently unknown, and she has not been formally identified – but her next of kin have been informed of her death.
The quiet road is near Owlesbury, Hampshire, which has less than 900 residents, who are said to be shocked by the murder.
One local told the Mail Online: ‘We are a close-knit village and as soon as we saw the police car racing through the village on Tuesday evening we knew something was wrong.
‘Our village fete takes place on Sunday and I am sure all of our thoughts will be with those involved in this sad discovery.’
Hampshire Police said in a statement: ‘We were called at 5.51pm on Tuesday 3 September after the body of a woman in her 30s was found near to Whaddon Lane, Owslebury.
