A 42-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of murder and is now helping detectives with their enquiries.

It has been claimed that Mr Edwards had packed two suitcases on Sunday and was moving out of the £320,000 home he shared with his new bride, according to friends and former colleagues.

Mr Edwards had worked for Kevills solicitors in Chorley, Lancs, and had just been made redundant from his post.

The couple began seeing each other early a year ago and got engaged at Christmas.

Edwards was remanded in custody to crown court tomorrow, when her lawyer intends to apply for bail.

Lancashire Police said the body of David Mark Edwards, 51, was discovered and his widow – who has not been named – is understood to be in custody.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The father-of-one had recently returned from Las Vegas, where he married his wife Sharon at the iconic Little White Chapel in June. A murder investigation is underway.
