Paul Antony Butler, 53, who was wanted in connection to the death of a woman in Plymouth has been located and arrested in Liskeard.

He is currently in police custody having been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Police were notified last night, Wednesday 22 January, to reports of a woman serious injured on West Hoe Road. Paramedics attended the scene where she was taken to hospital. Sadly, the woman, who was in her 40s, was pronounced deceased.

Our thoughts are with her family at this time who we are continuing to support.

Officers would like to thank the local community for their assistance and their patience while our enquiries continue into this incident.

A mandatory referral will be made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) due to previous contact with the victim. This is normal procedure in these circumstances.

Members of the public can report information that may help the wider investigation through our Major Incident Public Portal here: https://mipp.police.uk/operation/50DC24S33-PO1
