A major police investigation is underway following the tragic discovery of a woman's body at a hotel in Kent.
Discovery at Lakeside Hotel
Officers were called to the Inn on the Lake hotel in Shorne on Wednesday, where a woman in her 40s was pronounced dead at the scene. The three-star hotel is situated just off the A2, between Gravesend and Strood.
Kent Police confirmed they have launched a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the woman's death. The force moved quickly to make an arrest in connection with the incident.
Arrest Made in Connection
A man has been taken into custody by detectives. Police have stated that the man was known to the deceased woman, though the exact nature of their relationship has not been disclosed at this early stage.
Forensic teams and officers remained at the hotel premises throughout the day, conducting a detailed examination of the area. The scene was cordoned off as part of the standard procedure for a sudden death investigation.
Ongoing Police Inquiry
Authorities have not released the identities of either the woman or the arrested man. A police spokesperson described the incident as a tragedy and assured the public that a thorough inquiry is in progress.
The Inn on the Lake hotel, a popular venue with views over a lake, has become the focal point of this developing story. Local residents have expressed shock at the news emerging from the normally quiet area.
This remains a breaking news story, and further updates are expected from Kent Police as their investigation continues.
