Upon finding her body, police launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death, and arrested a man on suspicion of murder and unlawful act manslaughter.

The man, in his 40s, was later arrested further for engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour in an intimate relationship; he is still under investigation for unlawful act manslaughter. Initially, he was bailed until April 15, before that was extended until July 15.

Now, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary has now told The News that his bail has been extended once again - this time to October 15, almost a year since Alison was found dead.

A family tribute to Alison, shared via the police force following her death last year, said: “Our Alison was deeply loved by all who knew her and had friends scattered across the world.

“She embraced life with an open heart - adventurous, compassionate, kind, and truly beautiful inside and out. She found joy in exploring new places, dancing with a glass of bubbles in hand, and celebrating every moment.

“But above all, she adored her daughters and young granddaughters. They were the light of her life and losing her so suddenly and tragically has left a hole in our hearts that can never be filled.”
