It has been confirmed a body of a woman found in a stream in Halesworth is that of missing pensioner Maureen Groombridge.

The 77 year-old, who had dementia, was last seen at a property on Beech Close at around 8.30pm on Monday.

Suffolk Police, aided by a police helicopter, conducted a search for her in the area and, at around 6.30am the following day, a woman's body was discovered in a nearby stream.

Her death is being treated as unexplained and a post-mortem examination is due to take place later this week.
