A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman was found dead at home.

Cops were called by an ambulance crew to the property in Great Haywood, Staffordshire, just before 5.10pm on Wednesday.

A woman was found at the address in Devereux Gardens before being taken to hospital where she later died.

A 50-year-old man, from the Rugeley area, has been arrested on suspicion of murder and controlling/coercive behaviour.

West Midlands Police added: “Anyone with any information that could help with our investigation is asked to get in touch by calling 101, quoting incident 505 of 29 January, or by using Live Chat on our website.

“To report anonymously, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”

TOTTENHAM started their Europe League campaign in blistering form but have tailed off recently to add jeopardy to qualification.

The North London club were the competition’s high-flyers, winning three from three, but in recent months have dropped points in three out of their last four.

A win in their last outing to equally out-of-sorts Hoffenheim has made the path towards a guaranteed place in the knockouts more simpler.

Ange Postecoglou’s side currently sit sixth in the league phase on 14 points – just one ahead of the perilous play-off positions.

The Lillywhites, who are on the hunt for an elusive trophy, host Swedish side Elfsborg for the final league game.

But, what do they need to qualify?

What do Spurs need to guarantee qualification to the Europa League last 16?

Just like fellow last 16 hopefuls Manchester United, a win on Thursday would assure qualification for Spurs.

The introduced eight-game ‘Swiss model’ has scrapped the traditional 32-team group stage of Europe’s top club competitions for a 36-team league phase.

The top eight automatically qualify for the last 16 and are joined by the winners of a playoff tie between ninth to 24th.

According to Opta’s supercomputer – which simulates the 2024-25 UEL league phase 50,000 times to work out team’s Europa League knockout likelihood – Spurs have a 92.6 per cent chance of a top-eight finish.

CHILLING audio has revealed the tragic final moments of an American Airlines flight before it crashed with a chopper.

The midair collision occurred as the passenger jet en route from Wichita, Kansas, was on approach to land at Ronald Reagan Airport on Wednesday night.

The American Airlines regional passenger jet and US Army Black Hawk helicopter then crashed into the Potomac River.

American Airlines confirmed that 64 people were aboard the jet – 60 passengers and four crew members.

It comes as…

• American Airlines plane collides with helicopter
• Rescue crews grapple with cold, dark conditions
• Officials say ‘many, many, many’ dead
• US Army confirms one of its Blackhawk helicopters involved
• Trump says crash ‘could have been prevented’

Three soldiers were aboard the helicopter, which was on a training flight, a US official said.

Officials say there are “many, many, many” people dead, but have not confirmed the tragic toll.

At least 18 bodies have reportedly been pulled from the river so far.

Radio communications between the air traffic control tower and the Black Hawk show that the helicopter crew were aware that the plane was in the nearby vicinity.

Air traffic control recordings appear to capture the final attempted communications with the helicopter, callsign PAT25, before it collides with the plane, described as CRJ.

“PAT25, do you have a CRJ in sight? PAT25, pass behind the CRJ,” an air traffic controller says at 8.47pm, according to a recording on liveatc.net.

Seconds later, another aircraft calls in to air traffic control, saying, “Tower, did you see that?” – apparently referring to the crash.

An air traffic controller then redirects planes heading to runway 33 to go around.

A web camera shot from the Kennedy Center in Washington showed an explosion mid-air across the Potomac at about 8.47pm with an aircraft in flames falling rapidly.

PSA was operating Flight 5342 for American Airlines, according to the FAA.

“We’re cooperating with the National Transportation Safety Board in its investigation and will continue to provide all the information we can,” American Airlines CEO Robert Isom said in a video statement.

Dozens of police, ambulance and rescue units, some ferrying boats, staged along the river and raced to positions along the tarmac of Reagan airport.

Live TV images showed several boats in the water, flashing blue and red lights.

Relatives gathered at the airport said they were getting little to no information from officials about the incident.

They added that they were hearing more about the incident from news reports.

A father told Sky News his daughter’s best friend was on her way back from an ice-skating competition.

Pat said: “I haven’t heard much. I got off work, and I came straight here to be with my friends.”

One woman told an airport official, “I don’t know if she got on there or not,” in apparent reference to a passenger on the crashed jet and then collapsed in tears.

The Pentagon said it was launching an immediate investigation into the incident.

President Donald Trump appeared to blame it on the helicopter crew and air traffic controllers in a post on Truth Social.

He wrote: “The helicopter was going straight at the airplane for an extended period of time.

“It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing, why didn’t the helicopter go up or down, or turn.

“Why didn’t the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane.

“This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!!”

Jack Potter, the president and CEO of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, emphasized at the same news conference that first responders were in “rescue mode.”

Washington, DC, fire chief John Donnelly said at the news conference that at least 300 first responders were continuing to work on the “highly complex” rescue operation.

“Conditions out there are extremely rough for the responders,” Donnelly said.

“It’s cold. They’re dealing with windy conditions.”

Asked by reporters whether there were any survivors, he responded that “we don’t know yet.”

Airports authority CEO Potter said the airport would remain closed until at least 11am on Thursday.
