A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman in her 20s was found dead in a bed.

Officers were called at 10.30pm on Friday by one of her friends who had become worried when she did not see her as planned, Sussex police said.

The woman was found in a bed at a house in Highams Hill, Crawley, West Sussex.

A 47-year-old man who had minor injuries was also found in the property.

He was checked by paramedics before being detained and remains in custody.
