A tiny English village was anything but the picture of peace and quiet Saturday when one of its elderly denizens was found dead.

Cops launched a murder investigation after being called to a home in the town of Mullion, in Cornwall, to find a woman in her 80s fatally injured, according to reports.

While little information has been made public, authorities have already zeroed in on a suspect: an octogenarian from a nearby village, according to the UK Sun.

Police nabbed the 84-year-old man, who lives just eight miles away, on suspicion of murder shortly after discovering the victim, who has not been publicly identified.

An investigation is underway.
