NEIGHBOURS “heard shouting” before a man was discovered dead in a popular park – as cops arrest a woman on suspicion of murder.

Police launched an investigation after the victim, in his 50s, was found unresponsive in Lowestoft, Suffolk, on Friday night.

Emergency crews were scrambled to Sparrow’s Nest Gardens just before 10.15pm.

But despite the best efforts of medical teams, the man was sadly declared dead at the scene.

A murder probe has since been launched following his death, as his family are informed by cops.

Suffolk Police confirmed a woman, 28, was arrested on suspicion and later taken to Great Yarmouth Police Investigation for questioning.

And residents spoke of their shock as all six entrances to the park were cordoned off by police yesterday.

Malcolm Raven, 68, who lives in the area, said his wife had “heard shouting” at around 9pm.

He told the Eastern Daily Press: “I think it’s a bit close to home – you don’t want that.

“She heard someone shouting She was in bed at 9pm. I think she was on her way to going to sleep.

“She said she heard someone shout out”.

The force has now urged anyone with any information or potential footage to come forward.

The force said: “This is being treated as an isolated incident and the parties involved are understood to have been known to each other.

“A Home Office post-mortem will take place in due course.

“Officers are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with information.

“This includes anyone driving in the area around the time that may have a dash camera.

“The incident is being treated as a murder investigation.”

Suffolk Police have called on anyone with information to contact the force quoting crime reference 37/16062/26.
