Police have cordoned off a road in a murder probe after a woman was found fatally injured.

Moorland Road in Maghull is currently cordoned off after the murder of a 45-year-old woman.

Emergency services arrived at the scene at about 9.20pm last night, following a report of concern for a woman.

The street is currently cordoned off as police begin enquiries into the circumstances surrounding the woman's death.
