A woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder after an 88-year-old man was found dead at a home in Bournemouth.

Dorset Police said officers were called to Edgehill Road, in the Winton area, by the ambulance service who had raised concerns for the welfare of a man at the address.

The force said the man's next of kin had been informed and his death was currently being treated as unexplained.

The arrested woman, aged 60 and from Bournemouth, is believed to be known to the man and remains in police custody, it said.

Det Chf Insp Neil Third said he was keen to speak to anyone who "has seen any suspicious activity around the address" since 18 July.

"You may have vital details to help us establish what has happened," he added.

The force said a police cordon remained in place while investigations continued.
