A community is in mourning today following the devastating death of a young woman in a serious incident that occurred late on Tuesday night on Westdale Lane, Nottingham.
Emergency services were called to the scene in the early hours of 21 October, where the woman was tragically pronounced dead. Her identity has not yet been released publicly, but it is understood that she was in her early twenties.
A murder investigation is now underway. A dedicated team of detectives is working around the clock to piece together the circumstances surrounding the incident. Police have appealed to anyone who may have been in the area before, during, or shortly after the time of the incident to come forward — especially those who may have dash-cam, CCTV, or mobile phone footage.
“I am deeply saddened by the loss of a young woman’s life following the tragic incident that occurred overnight on Tuesday,” said a local representative. “My thoughts and condolences are with her family and friends at this unimaginably difficult time. I understand they are being supported by specially trained officers.”
Residents in the Westdale Lane area will notice an increased police presence over the coming days, with officers carrying out additional patrols and continuing their enquiries.
