The body of the 23-year-old was found in a flat in Centaur Court, in Hawley Street, Colne, shortly after midnight yesterday.

A 24-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and he is being questioned by police.

Police have renewed their appeal for information to help their investigations. Detective Superintendent Neil Hunter appealed to anyone who knew Anna or may have spent time with her in recent days to come forward.

“I would obviously renew my appeal to anyone who may have been in the Centaur Court area last night who may have witnessed something or have any information that can assist the enquiry then I would ask them to contact us,” he said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Lancashire police on 01282 4250021 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
