A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman was found dead at a house in Sheffield.

The body of Emily Sanderson, 48, was found on Crofton Avenue, Hillsborough, at about 12:00 BST on Tuesday. She was reported missing on 25 May and had not been seen since 19 May.

A post-mortem examination found she died from head injuries.

South Yorkshire Police said a 43-year-old man from Sheffield was arrested on Friday and remains in custody.

A 40-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender on Wednesday has been bailed pending further enquiries.

The force said it had made a mandatory referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

Det Ch Insp Andrea Bowell said: "The property at Crofton Avenue, where Emily's body was found, has undergone painstaking and extensive forensic examination.

"We'd be keen to hear from anyone who may be able to tell us more about Emily's movements since 19 May, whether they saw her or spoke with her, as that information could be incredibly important."

Those who can help are asked to contact the force via 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers.
