DETECTIVES investigating the death of a woman whose remains were found in Hampshire have been given more time to interview a 27-year-old man.

The man was arrested in London on Wednesday by officers from Hampshire Constabulary and officers have been granted a further 36 hours to question him.

A dog walker found the burned remains of the woman's body at about 6.30am outside the village of Dummer near Basingstoke.

Detectives later revealed that the body had been stuffed in a suitcase and then set alight.
