Murder: woman's body found in garden
By Louise Acford

A murder investigation has been launched after the body of a woman was found hidden in a back garden.

It is believed the body could have been there for up to six weeks.

The grisly find was made in the early hours of this morning at a property in Maresfield Road, Brighton.


A 48-year-old man, believed to be the woman's husband, was arrested at the house and is in police custody.

The woman, 37, had been reported to police as missing within the last few days.

A post mortem to determine the cause of death will be carried out.

The identity of the murdered woman is expected to be released after next of kin have been informed.

A black R reg Ford Fiesta has been taken from the scene by police.

The couple are believed to have a young daughter. The body is believed to have been in the container for approximately six weeks.

I hope the poor kid has decent grandparents to bring her up or indeed aunties or uncles.

Wasn't in the back garden, the body was found in a garage, hidden in a disused car roofbox.

Work for Sus Pol and you'd realise how many bodies/suicides there are in Sussex on a weekly basis, with few ever making more than a small paragraph in the respective regional newspaper.

As the untouchable Depeche Mode once famously sung "Death is everywhere, there are flies on the windscreen..."
