A man and a woman both from Woodhouse are due to appear in Sheffield Crown Court tomorrow after they appeared in the Magistrates Court on the 25th and were remanded in custody.

The duo are identified as David Scott, aged 39, and Zoe Clarke, 38.

Police arrested two more suspects last Monday but they were later released on bail.

Sarah Brierley, aged 49, was found dead after police officers forced entry to a flat in Skelton close shortly after 8am on 20 February.

An autopsy has since revealed the victim died of serious head injuries.

The pair from Sheffield were arrested on suspicion of murder on 22 February.

A spokesperson for South Yorkshire police said: “Our investigation is continuing at pace and we continue to urge anyone with any information about Sarah’s death to get in touch.”

South Yorkshire Police say an investigation is still ongoing, but anyone with information should contact 101 quoting incident number 145 or Crimestoppers.
