Detective Chief Inspector Alex Geldart, who is leading the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team investigation, said: "Our thoughts are with the victim's family at this tragic time. They are being supported by our family liaison officers. "We are keen to establish details of when the victim was last seen locally and also hear of anyone who may have been seen visiting the house and when.
