Dr Hannah Terry, a GP and mother of three, was found dead at a property near the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk where she was hosting a children's sleepover. Mark Cain, 45, has been charged with her murder.
Discovery and identification
Dr Terry, also known by her married name Hannah Cain, was located at a residence in Fern Hill, Dersingham, just over a mile from Sandringham House, in the early hours of Sunday. Norfolk Police officially identified her after officers discovered the body of a woman in her 40s, following an alert from the ambulance service shortly after 2.20am.
The Grimston Medical Centre, where Dr Terry is listed as part of the practice team, posted a message on its website stating it is "temporarily closed due to extremely difficult circumstances affecting our practice team."
Arrest and charge
A man in his 40s was apprehended on suspicion of murder and taken to King's Lynn police investigation centre for questioning. On Monday, police stated that officers had requested a warrant of further detention from Great Yarmouth Magistrates' Court, which would grant them an additional 32 hours to interrogate the man. Mark Cain has now been charged with her murder.
A cordon remains in place at the property as investigations persist.
