A body found in a lake is believed to be that of a serving
female police officer, Cheshire police said.
The body, which was found at about 03:45 BST at Poynton Park
in Cheshire, is thought to be that of Leanne McKie, 39, from
Greater Manchester Police.
She was the mother of three young children, Cheshire
Constabulary said.
A 43-year-old man from Wilmslow has been arrested on
suspicion of her murder and is being questioned by detectives.
Police said it appeared to be an "isolated incident".
Det Insp Adam Waller said: "Investigations into her death are
currently ongoing and we are working hard to establish the full
circumstances surrounding the incident.
"We are aware of a number of rumours circulating in relation to
the identity of the victim and, whilst formal identification has not
year taken place, we do believe that the victim is 39-year-old
Leanne McKie, from Wilmslow.
"Our thoughts at this difficult time are with Leanne's family,
friends and colleagues."
He said police were not looking for anyone else in connection
with her death.
