A POLICE watchdog has launched an investigation after a woman was discovered dead in a Barry house after two reports were made to police previously.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission is looking into how 35-year-old Lisa Moller’s body was found after a neighbour called police about domestic disturbances.

Her body was found Cwrt Eirlys, on August 31. Ms Moller’s death is not being treated as suspicious.

The commission said officers had been unable to make contact with the woman occupant of the property on either occasion.

At 10.50am, the ambulance service contacted South Wales Police to inform them that Lisa’s body had been discovered at the house.

An inquest has been opened and adjourned at Cardiff & Vale corners court, but Ms Moller’s death is not being treated as suspicious.

IPCC Commissioner for Wales Jan Williams said: “This is a very sad and difficult time for Lisa’s family, and they have my deepest sympathy over their loss. Our investigators have met with the family and explained why the IPCC is involved and how we will set about our investigation.

“Our independent investigation is examining how South Wales Police responded to the calls, including whether officers made sufficient efforts to check on the welfare of anyone inside the property.

“We want to establish what information was available to the officers attending the house, and whether their responses were in line with national and local policy and guidance."
