Detectives are appealing for anyone with information to come forward following the death of a woman in Croydon.
Police were called at around midnight on Friday, the 17th of July, after a woman was reported missing by a family member.
She was graded as a high-risk missing person and officers attended her home in Dittoncroft Close later that morning to conduct enquiries into her disappearance.
Following a search of the property, officers discovered the body of the woman who was pronounced dead at the scene.
She has been formally identified as Nicole Beling, 60, from Croydon. Her family are being supported by specialist officers.
A 61-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder and later released under investigation. He was further arrested and has been bailed while enquiries continue.
At this time, Nicole’s death is being treated as unexplained. Her cause of death remains under investigation.
Enquiries into the circumstances of her death continue and are being led by specialist officers from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command.
