A MAN in his sixties has been found dead at his home in West Sussex, as police launch a murder investigation.

Sussex police were called to East Grinstead at around 7:45 Thursday evening following reports of a domestic incident.

The man, aged 61, was treated by paramedics but died at the scene.

A 69-year-old woman from the area was arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody at this time.

The man’s next of kin have been informed and supported by specialist officers.

Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Jon Gillings, said: “We are in the early stages of this investigation, and our thoughts are with the victim’s loved ones as we seek to establish the exact circumstances of what happened.

“I’d like to reassure the public that this is being treated as an isolated incident involving two people known to each other. There will be an increased police presence in the area as our enquiries continue, and anyone with any information is urged to come forward.”

You can report it online or call 101, quoting Operation Bilbrook.
