Following the death of a woman in Malton last week, North Yorkshire Police say they have referred themselves to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).
Officers say they made the mandatory referral as per standard procedure on Thursday 25 April, the day after the incident in which Lisa Welford, 49, was pulled from the River Derwent (on the evening of 24 April).
Lisa was taken to hospital, but was sadly later pronounced dead.
A 47-year-old Malton man, who was known to Lisa, was arrested the same evening, and later charged with murder.
He subsequently appeared at Leeds Crown Court on 30 April where he was remanded in custody until his next court appearance on 21 May.
A preliminary trial date has been set for 21 October.
