Manhunt after woman dies following flat fall

Police have launched a manhunt after a woman died following a fall from a block of flats.

The woman died on Friday after she was injured falling from the building in Cuckmere Lane, Southampton, just before 14:45 BST on Thursday.

Detectives have launched a murder inquiry and are looking for a man who they believed was at the address when the fall happened, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary said.

The family of the 25-year-old victim has been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

A force spokesperson said: "Officers are pursuing lines of inquiry to identify a man within the property at the time of the incident."

A local resident told the BBC it was "a shock" to hear about the incident on their doorstep.

Police remain on the address, and patrols are to be carried out in the surrounding area, they added.
