A murder investigation has been launched after a woman’s body was discovered at a £1million home.

The victim, a woman in her 30s, was discovered on Monday evening after a neighbour heard a loud scream coming from the property in Buckinghamshire.

An ambulance crew arrived at the £1 million gated home in High Beeches, Gerrards Cross, and tried to resuscitate the women for an hour before she was pronounced dead, according to the Bucks Free Press.

Thames Valley Police launched a murder investigation on Thursday after a post-mortem was carried out by a Home Office pathologist.

Local policing area commander Yvette Hitch said: “This is a very concerning incident, as a result we have increased patrols in the area to provide reassurance to the public.”

The five-bedroom detached house reportedly belongs to the Matharu family, who run a car leasing business from a nearby property

A 58 year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident.
