Police investigating the death of a woman at Brandon Country Park last week have carried out checks in the town seven days on from the incident.

Officers were called by the ambulance service shortly before 7am on Friday 9th April, following reports that the body of a woman had been found in the pond at the park.

Subject to confirmation at formal inquest proceedings, the deceased has been identified as Egle Vengaliene, aged 35, of Bury Road, Brandon.

Andrius Vengalis, of Bury Road, Brandon, was arrested in connection with the incident on the afternoon of Friday 9 April and after being questioned by detectives, was subsequently charged with murder on Monday 12th April.   

Vengalis appeared before Ipswich Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 13th April, where he was committed to appear before Ipswich Crown Court later the same day. He was remanded in custody pending a next crown court appearance on Monday 19th July.
