A body has been found inside a car on fire in a field in West Sussex.

Firefighters found the body in the boot of the Volkswagen Jetta, which was parked near Ifield Golf Club in Rusper Road, Ifield, on Friday afternoon.


Sussex Police said they were trying to identify the person and to determine the gender. The vehicle suffered extensive fire damage.


A 34-year-old woman from Dulwich, south-east London, has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.

A post-mortem examination to determine the cause of death is due to take place later.

'Plumes of smoke'


Firefighters were called to the scene shortly after 14:00 GMT.

Local residents Rosemary and Paul Shackell said they were aware of the fire once they saw "thick black plumes of smoke" in the sky.


"You could hear either the tyres or the airbags going. There was another plume of smoke going up each time there was a bang," Mr Shackell said.


"You don't really expect this on your doorstep," he added.

Det Ch Insp Jason Taylor said officers were treating it as a murder investigation and were following several lines of inquiry.


He asked for anyone with any information about the car or who saw it being abandoned and set on fire to contact police.

Why, Mr Tudor, was it funny? Someone has been murdered. I imagine that because the person arrested has not yet been charged, it's best, from a potential libel or contempt point of view, that there's no discussion on it as yet, which is why I didn't mind my thread being removed.

    • So I've done a little more research into the current use of the word, I hadn't realised it had latterly been used to describe anti Muslim feelings. Still don't like the use of the word. These are horrible times and am fearful for the future.
    • Oh I didn't realised Starmer had used the word. I don't mean they are stirring up division between themselves (ie between Reform and Greens), I mean they are stoking division within communities, and stirring up racial prejudice and religious discrimination. That is sectarianism, in my view. 
    • Just to repeat the news I was given – it's not being converted into a pub. As far as I know, there's no intention of dumbing down their restaurant offering.  Although as others have pointed out, Camberwell has two pubs – The Camberwell Arms and now the Michelin-starred Kerfield Arms – with excellent food. The Palmerston used to be the only pub in ED that was of such quality, but sadly no longer IMHO. 
    • The country is in a real state.  What worries me about the Greens is encouraging migration and openly offering benefits to all with visas.  Where is the money for that coming from?  As if there is spare money, as if there is growth. Where I their holistic manifesto, ensuring funds are available and this is sustainable, and regulated? Incredibly dangerous and idealistic
