Woking murder investigation after death of girl, 10

A murder investigation is underway following the discovery of the body of a 10-year-old girl in Surrey. 

Her body was found after police were called to an address in Hammond Road, Woking at about 02:50 BST on Thursday following a safety concern. 

Police had identified a number of individuals they would like to speak to and were not looking for anyone else. 

A police spokesperson said no-one else had been injured and no arrest had been made. 

On Thursday, Det Ch Insp White said: “Our officers are working hard to build a picture of what happened.

“We have no reason to believe there is any risk to the public.”

There was a significant police presence near the address in Hammond Road, which would remain over the coming days, she added.

The 10-year-old’s family have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.
