A 23-year-old woman was found dead at a property in Burnham-on-Crouch on Friday

A woman murdered in Essex was strangled with a ligature, a post-mortem examination has revealed.

Police have named the victim as Isobel Parker, 23, who was known by her friends and family as Becky.

Officers were called last Friday afternoon after reports a woman had been found collapsed in a property in Booth Place, Burnham-on-Crouch.

Paramedics tried to revive her but she died. Tributes left nearby indicate she may also have been pregnant.

Factory worker Matthew Smith, 23, of Wood Corner Caravan Park in Maldon, has been charged with her murder and was remanded in custody at Chelmsford Crown Court on Tuesday.
