Two women have been arrested after a body was found. The 30-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene and her death is being treated as suspicious. Staffordshire Police said they were called by West Midlands Ambulance Service to Watkin Street in Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent on Thursday morning. The two 30-year-old women, from Stoke-on-Trent, held in connection with the incident, have been released under investigation.
