Teenage boy arrested after death of 13-year-old girl in West Yorkshire
A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of rape and murder after the death of a 13-year-old girl in West Yorkshire, police have said. Officers were called to a flat on Sheepridge Road in Huddersfield on Monday night to reports that a girl was unresponsive. West Yorkshire police said the victim died in hospital and her death was being treated as 'unexplained' after a postmortem examination. A 16-year-old boy from Huddersfield was arrested on suspicion of murder and rape and is in custody. The suspect was also arrested on suspicion of another offence of rape relating to a 16-year-old girl from a separate incident elsewhere in the Kirklees district, the force said on Thursday. DCI Stacey Atkinson said: 'A postmortem was not able to determine how she died, and we continue to treat her death as unexplained at this time, pending more inquiries. 'Those inquiries are complex and are likely to be lengthy as we work to fully understand the circumstances of the girl's death.' West Yorkshire police said: 'Police were called by the ambulance service to an address on Sheepridge Road, Huddersfield at 11.36pm on Monday 11 August to a report that the teenage girl was unresponsive.

Travellers with around 30 caravans pitch up in leafy Surrey park - and police are powerless to evict them
More than 30 caravans have pitched up in a local park - but there's nothing police can do to evict them. Police are 'monitoring the situation closely' at Guildford's Stoke Park in Surrey where the makeshift caravan site has been created. The dozens of caravans and as many cars and vans appeared overnight to set up camp on one of the playing fields. Surrey Police are working closely with Guildford Borough Council, which owns the 130-acre town centre park. Officer's powers to manage encampments are 'reliant on certain criteria with regards to damage, disruption, or distress', according to Surrey Police. They visited the site after it was reported to them but concluded nothing could be done as locals are forced to put up with the intruders. But cops confirmed they will continue to monitor the park to see if the threshold to evict the campers had been met. Each of the caravans seems to have come with its own car to tow it along, taking up even more space in the leafy suburb. Police can only evict travellers from unauthorised camps under certain legal conditions set by the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, the force said. There must be evidence of damage, disruption, or distress caused by the travellers for officers to have the power to remove them. Surrey Police said: ' We are aware of an unauthorised encampment of around 30 caravans and 28 other vehicles in Stoke Park, which arrived yesterday evening (August 12). 'Officers visited the site and will continue to monitor the situation while working closely with our partners at Guildford Borough Council, who own the land. 'The powers available to police to manage unauthorised encampments under Sections 60, 61, and 62 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 are reliant on meeting certain criteria with regards to damage, disruption, or distress. 'It was judged that the encampment does not currently meet this threshold, but the relevant sections of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 will be reviewed on an ongoing basis to judge whether the criteria to direct the site to be vacated has been met.'
