A 48-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman was found dead at a property in Bracknell.
Police were called to an address in Birkdale on Wednesday morning, following reports that a 40-year-old woman had sustained a head injury.
She was later pronounced dead at the scene.
Her next of kin have been informed and a formal identification will take place in due course.
The man arrested remains in police custody and officers will continue a presence at the scene while investigations continue.
Thames Valley Police Senior investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Brangwin said: “Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the woman at this incredibly difficult time.
“We are in the early stages of a complex investigation and are pursuing a number of lines of enquiry to establish the full circumstances surrounding her death.”
He said that the Force does not believe there is “any wider risk to the public”.
It’s asking people to avoid online speculation which may cause “additional distress to those affected”.
