Police have cordoned off the house where the body was found

Police say the death of a 67-year-old woman at a house in Carmarthenshire is being treated as manslaughter.

Officers said a number of "individuals" were in custody and helping detectives with their inquiries.

The body of the woman was found in a house on the Bryndulais estate in Llanllwni, near Llanybydder, on Monday.

The property has been cordoned off and a forensic science unit tent has been set up in the street while investigations continue.

Detectives were seen emerging from the property on Tuesday morning.

Linda Davies-Evans, a county councillor for Llanfihangel-ar-Arth, described the woman, who has not been named, as a "a well liked and independent lady" who had lived in Bryndulais for many years.

She said: "This is a shock to us all. This is a tragic incident to have happened in this quiet community in which everybody knows each other.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with family, friends and neighbours at this sad time".

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said.

Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
