Church warden Beryl Purdy was found bludgeoned to death at her country home where police had been called to a burglary in progress. Avon and Somerset Police confirmed the suspect was reported to them as a missing person before Mrs Purdy was found dead at her home in the small Somerset village of Broomfield, near Taunton.
Missing from...?
A spokesman for the force said the arrested man in his 30s was missing from a mental health unit - but not a secure mental health unit.
Are any of them secure?
Villagers say they felt 'anger and disgust' at the sudden death of the active pensioner who was at the heart of village life. One resident described Mrs Purdy as 'an absolute pillar of the community'.
They should be feeling anger and disgust at the people supposedly employed to keep the community safe, but who always act after the fact, not before:
Avon and Somerset police chief inspector Justin French said: 'A cordon is in place while enquiries are carried out.
'There will be increased police activity in the area while a full and thorough investigation is carried out by our Major Crimes Investigation Team.
'We understand that events like this, while rare, may cause alarm and distress in the community.'
Rare..? Who are you kidding?
