The body of a woman who went missing from her Worcester Park home at the weekend has been found in woodland by a police dog unit investigating her disappearance.

Susan Watts, 44, was discovered in Manor Park, Worcester Park about 1.20pm on Tuesday by Surrey Police.

While the body had not yet been formally identified as the Epsom Guardian went to press, a police spokesman said it was believed to be that of Mrs Watts who left her home in a distressed state on Sunday.

There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding her death.
