West Country (W) Catherine Wells Burr

Tributes to 23-year-old Catherine Wells-Burr, whose body was found in a burning car in Ashill near Ilminster on Wednesday morning, have been laid near the crime scene.

Her body was found inside a burning red Ford Focus car in a field off the A358 near Ilminster. Police have now launched a murder enquiry and are seriously investigating whether Catherine may have known her killer.

A Facebook group has also been set up in memory of Catherine which has attracted 320 members in the space of 12 hours.

A 32 year old woman was arrested last night on suspicion of murder and currently remains in police custody. Two men arrested have been eliminated from the enquiry.

A post mortem will begin later today to try and identify how Catherine died.

Detective Chief Inspector Simon Crisp from Avon and Somerset Police said:

"We still need information from members of the public and those people who knew Catherine or knew of her. It is imperative we get a full picture of her life and you may have information that could help."

Police are continuing to examine the crime scene where the body of a 23-year-old woman was found in a burning car yesterday.

They are examining the car under a blue tarpaulin tent after they were alerted to its location early yesterday morning. They believe the body is that of 23-year-old Catherine Wells-Burr.
