Bucks County authorities said Wednesday a homicide suspect was in custody after an unidentified woman was found dead at a Bensalem motel earlier in the day.

The investigation began when the Pennsylvania State Police in Trevose received information that a homicide may have occurred at a hotel or motel in Bensalem.

Police searched hotels and motels in the area of Route 1 and found the dead woman inside a room at the Sleep Inn & Suites at 3427 Street Rd.

A suspect was in custody at the Trenton Police Department, authorities said.

Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn and other officials were expected to release more information at a news conference Thursday morning.
