Masseuse murder suspect questioned
Angela Chiu
Ms Chiu's body was discovered by her teenage daughter

Detectives are questioning a suspect for a second day over the murder of a masseuse found stabbed to death at her luxury home.

The body of Angela Chiu, 48, was discovered in the bathroom of the house in Poole, Dorset, by her 18-year-old daughter Daniella last Friday evening.

Dorset police arrested the man in his thirties on Friday morning and were continuing to hold him on Saturday.

Forensic officers are still combing Ms Chiu's home for clues to the murder and have also searched local gardens and a unit for psychiatric patients at nearby St. Ann's Hospital.

Ms Chiu, a law graduate, worked as a massage therapist from her home in Haven Road, Canford Cliffs, an exclusive area of the town.

In a statement on Monday, Ms Chiu's family paid tribute to "a loving and caring mother" and a "wonderful daughter".

The statement said: "Angela's family and friends are battling to come to terms with her unnecessary and violent death.

"Angela was a loving and caring mother as well as a wonderful daughter, thoughtful and fun-loving sister and an admired aunt."
