A 60-year-old woman found dead at her home has been pictured, with police appealing for information. Nicole Beling was discovered dead at her home on Dittoncroft Close, South Croydon, on July 17.
Discovery and Arrest
The discovery came after a family member reported her missing shortly after midnight. The Metropolitan Police classified her as a high-risk missing person, prompting officers to search the property.
A 61-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder but was later released under investigation. He was re-arrested on August 1 and has since been bailed while enquiries continue.
Investigation and Appeal
The Met's Specialist Crime Command is urging anyone with information to come forward. Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell, leading the inquiry, said: "A formal murder investigation has not been launched at this time and we are keeping an open mind as to the circumstances surrounding Nicole's sad death."
She added: "We want to hear from anyone who knew Nicole or may have information that could assist the investigation – and help us find answers for her family. My thoughts remain with Nicole's family and loved ones."
Nicole's family are receiving support from specialist officers.
