Teen boy, 16, released on bail after girl, 13, ‘raped and murdered' – as post-mortem ‘could not establish how she died'
A TEENAGE boy arrested on suspicion of rape and murder following the death of a 13-year-old girl in Huddersfield has been released on conditional police bail. Detectives are continuing to investigate the death, which is currently being treated as unexplained after a post-mortem could not establish how she died. 3 3 The suspect, aged 16, was also released on conditional bail regarding an offence of rape relating to a 16-year-old girl from a separate incident elsewhere in Kirklees. Paramedics found the schoolgirl "unresponsive" in an attic flat of gated apartments in Sheepridge Road, and she later died in hospital. DCI Stacey Atkinson of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said yesterday: 'We are continuing to conduct a number of enquiries today following the death of a 13-year-old girl following an incident at a flat on Sheepridge Road. 'A post mortem was not able to determine how she died, and we continue to treat her death as unexplained at this time, pending more enquiries. 'Those enquiries are complex and are likely to be lengthy as we work to fully understand the circumstances of the girl's death. "Specially trained officers are supporting her family at this time.' A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson added: "The 16-year-old boy from Huddersfield was arrested on suspicion of murder and rape in connection with the death of the girl in hospital in the early hours of Tuesday morning. 'The girl's death is currently being treated by West Yorkshire Police as unexplained, and police enquiries are underway to determine the circumstances.' The police investigation began after the ambulance service was called to the house on Monday (August 11) night, to a report that a girl was unresponsive. The spokesperson continued: "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 a teenage girl was unresponsive. "The 13-year-old was taken to hospital where she sadly died in the early hours of Tuesday morning. "The girl's death is currently being treated as unexplained, and enquiries are underway to determine the circumstances. "A 16-year-old boy from Huddersfield has been arrested on suspicion of murder and rape and remains in police custody. "He has also been arrested on suspicion of another offence of rape relating to a 16-year-old girl from an unrelated incident elsewhere in Kirklees.'
