Police said the man was found on a beach in Hunstanton on Thursday

A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the death of a woman whose case is being linked to that of a man found critically injured on a beach.

The body of the 49-year-old victim was found in a house on Tennis Court Drive, Leicester, on Thursday.

Police are linking her death to the case of a man believed to have fallen from cliffs near Hunstanton, Norfolk.

A man, 54, from Leicester, was arrested on Saturday.

A post-mortem examination concluded the woman died as a result of a head injury.

The man found in Norfolk - also on Thursday - remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Police have appealed for witnesses.
