A murder investigation has been launched after a pregnant woman was found dead in Co Down, the Police Service of Northern Ireland has said.
Officers received a report of an unconscious woman with a serious injury inside a house in Elmfield Walk, Donaghadee, on Saturday afternoon.
The woman, named as 27-year-old mother-of-two Sarah Montgomery, was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 28-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody.
Detective Chief Inspector Tom Phillips said Ms Montgomery was confirmed to have been pregnant at the time of her death.
He said: "Enquiries are at an early stage into this deeply tragic case. Our thoughts are also with Sarah's family during this incredibly difficult time - as they struggle to come to terms with what has happened.
"Sarah's family are being supported by specially trained officers as the investigation continues."
North Area Chief Inspector Yvonne McManus added: "We understand this news will cause shock and concern within the community. Local people will see our officers in and around the area - with cordons still in place today."
