Police named a man charged with murder after a woman was found dead in Lancashire.

Fiona Robinson was found at an address on Congress Street in Chorley at around 2.30am on Friday, May 26. The 37-year-old had been living in Chorley after moving from Barrow-in-Furness last year.

A post-mortem confirmed Fiona died from multiple injuries. Jason Gowen, 26, of Congress Street, Chorley ^[1], has been charged with murder.

He is due to appear at Preston Magistrates’ Court on Monday 29 May. Fiona’s family have been informed and are being supported by specially-trained officers.

Det Ch Insp Mark Haworth-Oates, of Lancashire Police’s ^[3] major investigation team, said: “First and foremost our thoughts are with Fiona’s loved ones, who are going through unimaginable pain.

“We are determined to provide answers for them and although we have charged someone our investigation is ongoing.

“We are appealing for any information that could help us piece together what happened. Perhaps you know something you think could be relevant or perhaps you were in the area on Thursday into the early hours of Friday morning and heard something suspicious.

“Whatever you know, please get in touch.”

Anyone with information should call 101 ^[4], quoting log 125 of May 26th.
