Catherine Bell was found burned to death in a wood near Redhill.
Portions of her clothing were found in different parts of the wood and it was evident that after her clothing had in some way caught fire she had run about the wood.
Her bicycle and a box of matches were found not far from her body.
Her husband said that before she had left home she had left a note and her family feared that she might take her own life.
Her bicycle was undamaged.
