Investigation Ongoing after Woman's Death in Malton

Thursday, 25 April 2024 14:20

There has been a "significant" police presence in Malton today.

North Yorkshire Police say they were called at about 11.40pm on Wednesday 24 April, with a report that a woman was in the River Derwent at Malton.

Members of the public and police officers pulled the woman out of the water, and performed first aid and CPR. She was taken to hospital by ambulance, but sadly she was later pronounced deceased.

A man in his 40s, who was known to the woman, has been arrested in connection with her death. He remains in custody while enquiries continue. Police say they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.

In a statement, North Yorkshire Police said:

"There is a significant police presence in Malton as we investigate this incident.

We understand members of the public may be upset or concerned about what has happened - our Neighbourhood Policing Team will be in the town to offer them reassurance."
