A MURDER investigation was launched last night after the body of a 30-year-old woman was found in Driffield.

Officers were called to the scene in Clematis Close, a ten-minute walk from the town centre, at about 5.30pm.

A large white tent covered the body, while forensic teams combed the area for clues.

Speaking at the scene, Detective Chief Inspector Paul Condon told the Mail: "We have arrested a 43-year-old man in connection with the death. He remains in police custody.

"A murder investigation has been launched."

The close, in a quiet part of the market town, is made up of semi-detached homes.

Passer-by Julie Kirrage, 52, said: "It is such a quiet area. You don't expect this to happen."
