Man, 34, charged with murder after woman, 38, found dead at Biggleswade home

A MAN has been charged with murder after a woman was found dead at her home.

Sarah Albone, 38, was discovered after a property in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, last week.

The mum-of-three was reported missing to cops after her family hadn’t seen her for months.

Matthew Waddell, 34, has since been charged with her death.

Specially trained officers are supporting Sarah’s family members.

A spokesman for Bedfordshire Police said: “A man has been charged with murder following the death of a woman in Biggleswade.

“Matthew Waddell was charged with murder following the death of Sarah Albone, aged 38 years, who was found at a property in Winston Crescent, Biggleswade on Saturday February 25.

“Waddell, of Winston Crescent, was remanded in custody after appearing at Luton Magistrates’ Court.

“The victim has now been formally identified as Sarah Albone and specialist officers are continuing to support her family.

“Anyone with information about the incident can contact police via beds.police.uk/ro/report or by calling 101.”

Detective Chief Inspector Iain Moor from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit said: “We have specialist officers working to support Sarah’s family and we would continue to ask that people respect their privacy at this very distressing time.

“We have a dedicated team of detectives working hard to establish the facts around this case and are particularly keen to speak to anyone who has seen Sarah over the past few months to establish exactly what happened to her.

“We have had a really good response so far from the community in Biggleswade, however I would urge people not to speculate about what happened or share assumptions or rumours, particularly on social media.

“If you do have information, no matter how small, it could prove vital to supporting our efforts and we again would ask you to come forward and report it.”
