A 31-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 'lovely' mother-of-five was found dead at her home.

The 47-year-old has been named locally as Ruksana Begum and she was described as a 'lovely person' who always had a smile on her face.

Police were called to her home in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, at 1.20pm on Wednesday following reports that a woman had collapsed.

A police spokesman said: 'Officers attended and discovered the body of a 47-year-old woman.'

The Golden Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre, which is around the corner from the family home on Lower Sheriff Street, said prayers would be said in tribute to her life.
