A man has been charged with the murder of a GP who was found dead at her home.

The man was arrested after the body of 45-year-old Dr Hannah Terry, also known as Hannah Cain, was found at a property in Fern Hill, Dersingham, Norfolk, on Sunday.

Norfolk Police said 45-year old Mark Cain, of Fern Hill, Dersingham, has been charged with her murder.

He has been remanded in custody until a court appearance on Wednesday.

A notice on the website of Grimston Medical Centre, where Dr Terry is listed as a member of the practice team, said it was “temporarily closed due to extremely difficult circumstances affecting our practice team”.

Tributes have been left outside the centre, including a teddy bear and flowers on a bench. A card from two patients reads: “Dear Dr Hannah Terry. We are so shocked and saddened to hear such tragic news.”

The Norfolk and Waveney Local Medical Committee, which represents NHS GPs, has also paid its respects.

A spokesperson said: “We are deeply saddened by the news of Dr Terry’s death. She was a wonderful GP who was dedicated to providing excellent care for her patients.”

Michael Devaney, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said: “The Crown Prosecution Service has decided to prosecute Mark Cain for the murder of Hannah Cain following a police investigation into an incident at her home in Dersingham.

“We have worked carefully with Norfolk Police during their investigation.

“Our thoughts remain with the family of Hannah Cain at this time.”

Cain is due to appear at Norwich Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
