UK woman killed in Kashmir

A British woman holidaying in Indian Kashmir was found dead in a pool of blood on a houseboat yesterday and a Dutch man has been arrested on suspicion of her murder, police said.
The 43-year-old Dutch national was taken into custody as he tried to flee the scenic Kashmir valley in the foothills of the Himalayas, police superintendent Tahir Sajjad told AFP.
The British tourist was believed to be in her early 20s and had been staying in a tourist houseboat on picturesque Dal Lake in the Indian Kashmir city of Srinagar for two months, police said.
