A woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man died at a house in a Staffordshire village on Christmas Day.

Staffordshire Police say officers were called to a report of a man in his 30s in cardiac arrest on Elm Road, Norton Canes, at around 03:25 GMT on Wednesday.

Despite medical efforts he died shortly afterwards and a post-mortem examination is scheduled to take place on Boxing Day morning, police add.

The 33-year-old woman, from Cannock, remains in custody and is being questioned by police.

Police say the man’s next of kin have been informed.

The force added that a crime scene was expected to remain at the address for a number of days.

Local residents would, they said, see an “increased presence of neighbourhood officers in the area as they provide reassurance and help to gather evidence”.
