Man arrested on suspicion of murder

Dear Resident,

We have made an arrest after a woman was found dead in Oldbury last night (5 Nov).

We were called just before 9.50pm to Park Street after a 19-year-old woman was found with serious injuries. 

Despite the best efforts of paramedics, there was nothing that could be done to save her and she was pronounced dead at the scene.  Our thoughts are with her loved ones.

A 41-year-old man, who is believed to be known to the woman, has been arrested on suspicion of murder. He remains in custody for questioning.

A scene remains in place while we carry out enquiries to establish exactly what happened.

Anyone with any information is asked to call 101 quoting 5978 of 5 November.
