A woman whose body was discovered in a house died as a result of the application of pressure to her neck, a post-mortem found.
Northamptonshire Police said it was called to an address in Donnington Road, Burton Latimer, at about 15:30 BST on Friday - soon after reports of a car crashing into a McDonald's restaurant.
A forensic post-mortem examination of the woman, who was aged in her 30s, was carried out at Leicester Royal Infirmary on Saturday.
Officers said a 35-year-old man, arrested on suspicion of murder, remained in police custody.
The force said that neither the woman, or the arrested man, were previously known to police.
A spokesperson from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU) appealed for anyone with information about the woman's death to contact police on 101, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
