| Murder probe: The mum of two was found dead on Friday |
A young woman who died suddenly yesterday has been named as pregnant mother of two Becky Parker.
Investigators launched a murder probe after 23-year-old Becky was found dead in her Burnham-on-Crouch flat in
Essex at around 4pm.
A 23-year-old man from Maldon, Essex, has been arrested in connection with the incident and was today being questioned by police on suspicion of murder.
Forensics searches are still being carried out at the property today. It is understood Miss Parker was five months pregnant.
Shocked neighbours and loved ones have paid tribute to Miss Parker since the news of her death broke.
Former co-worker Maria Fowkes, 40, who worked with her last year at The Oyster Smack Inn, told the Essex Chronicle:
"She was such a lovely young girl.
"We knew her as Izzy at work. She did explain to me why but I can't remember the exact reason.
"She had two beautiful children she thought the world of. She wanted to get out of the flat she was in and give her
kids a better life. "I don't know anyone who could say anything bad about
her. We were both housekeepers and we used to chat away all the time. She was so bubbly and lovely."

DCI Martin Pasmore, from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, is leading the investigation.
He said: “This is a very sad and distressing incident where a young woman has lost her life in tragic circumstances.
This enquiry has now become a murder investigation.
“We have arrested a man on suspicion of her murder and will continue to question him today.
"If anyone does have any information that they think may help us then I would urge them to get in touch with my team.”
