Woman charged with murder after man dies in Lowestoft park

A woman has been charged with murder after a man was found unresponsive in a park and later died. Suffolk Police said it was called to Sparrow's Nest Gardens in Lowestoft at 22:13 GMT on Friday, where a man was treated by emergency services but "later declared deceased".

He has been identified as Gary Grant, a 54-year-old from the town, and an initial post-mortem examination has concluded the cause of his death requires further investigation. Amber Stebbings, 28, of no fixed address, has been remanded in custody to appear before Great Yarmouth Magistrates' Court on Monday.

A police spokesperson said the victim's family members were being supported by specialist officers. "A police scene put in place at the location of the incident has now been lifted," they said. Detectives again appealed for anyone with information or dashcam footage from the area to get in touch.
