Norfolk Street Batley: Police name 21-year-old woman found dead at home as murder suspect remains in custody
Detectives investigating the death of a woman in Batley have formally identified her as Courtney Angus.
The body of Courtney, who was 21, and from Dewsbury, was found at an address in Norfolk Street, Batley on Saturday, July 26.
A 37-year-old man from Batley, who was arrested on suspicion of Courtney’s murder, remains in police custody.
Initial information indicating that two other people, a man and a woman, were seriously harmed in the incident was “not accurate,” a West Yorkshire Police spokesperson confirmed yesterday.
