Woman, 47, dies after being ‘assaulted’ inside her home – as two men arrested on suspicion of murder

COPS have launched a murder investigation and arrested two men after a woman’s body was discovered inside her home.

Police raced to Gomer Road in Townhill, Swansea, on February 27 and tragically found the body of Leanne Williams, 47. 

The force, who found Leanne dead around 2pm, said a post-mortem identified significant injuries consistent with assault. 

South Wales Police’s Major Crime Team quickly launched a murder investigation, seeing two men arrested who still remain in custody.

The force said they were continuing to piece together Leanne’s last known movements from 6pm on Monday February 24.

A police cordon remains in place at the address in Gomer Road.

Cops urged anyone with information or dashcam footage to come forward immediately.

Police particularly want to hear from people who knew Leanne and who have not yet spoken with officers.

Detective Superintendent Mark O’Shea said: “This tragic news has come as shock to the local community and of course is devastating for her family who we are supporting.

“We have a team of officers working around the clock on this investigation and I can confirm that we have two men in police custody. At this time we aren’t looking for anybody else.

“We are piecing together Leanne’s last known movements from 6pm on Monday, February 24, to 2.20pm the following Thursday when she was found by officers.

“Anyone who lives in or who has travelled through Gomer Road or surrounding areas during this time are asked to check their private CCTV or dashcam footage for anything that may be relevant.

“It doesn’t matter how insignificant it may seem. We particularly want to hear from people who knew Leanne and who have not yet spoken with officers.”

“The community will have noticed police activity in the area and this is to reassure residents who we know are concerned and to speak to them to see if they have information which may assist us.”
