Two released with no further action over mum's death

Samantha Murphy was found dead at a house in Wadham Road in Portsmouth

Two 32-year-old men arrested on suspicion of the murder of a mother-of-three have been released with no further action, police have said.

The body of Samantha Murphy, 32, was found by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary officers after they were called to a house in Wadham Road, Portsmouth, shortly before 08:00 BST on 5 June.

The two arrested men, from Havant and Petersfield, were previously released on conditional bail before Hampshire police confirmed on Saturday they would face no further action.

Charlie Jeans, 30, of Margate Road, Southsea, has been charged with Ms Murphy's murder and remains in custody, due to go on trial in November.

In a previous statement, Ms Murphy's family described her as a "bright, smiling soul" who "radiated joy to everyone she met".

"She was a devoted mother to her three beautiful children, the bubbly baby sister who brought laughter and light to her siblings, and the fun-loving auntie who adored her nieces and nephews," they added.
