A man, who was arrested on suspicion of murder after the discovery of a woman's body in Belfast, is still in police custody.
The 40-year-old was detained after the woman's body was found at a house at Old Mill Drive in the Longlands area of Newtownabbey.
It is understood that neighbours heard a disturbance coming from the house yesterday afternoon and called police.
The PSNI said the woman's death was being treated as suspicious.
It is understood a post-mortem is being carried out today to establish the cause of death.
The woman, who is believed to be the mother of young children, is from a family which is well known in the area.
Sinn Féin councillor Taylor McGrann said the locality has been deeply shocked by the news of her death.
"The whole community is in shock. Those who knew her, her friends and family group are absolutely heartbroken," Mr McGrann said.
"It's something that you don't expect to ever hear in your community so my deepest sympathies to them all."
The PSNI has appealed for information from the public.
"Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of a woman in Newtownabbey's Old Mill Drive.
"Enquiries are ongoing and a further update will be provided in due course," a police spokesperson said.
