Woman quizzed on euthanasia claim
Officers from Devon and Cornwall Police have travelled to Birmingham to interview a woman who claimed she killed a terminally-ill relative.

Maureen Messent, 67, was arrested and questioned on Thursday over claims she killed her aunt with a morphine overdose in Devon in the 1960s.

She was bailed to return to a West Midlands police station on 23 June.

A police spokesperson said police will now consult the Crown Prosecution Service as to the next step.
