Officers believe grandmother Katherine Aldridge, 67, was hit by a small vehicle when she was walking near her home in Pulham St Mary, Norfolk on Christmas Eve.

Mrs Aldridge died at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital on Christmas Day.

A Norfolk Police spokeswoman said a 37-year-old man from the Diss area was arrested after he voluntarily attended a police station yesterday evening.

He has since been released on police bail pending further inquiries.
