Sunday, November 23, 2025 - Police in Wiltshire have arrested a 13-year-old girl on suspicion of murder after a woman in her 50s was found dead inside her home in Baydon Close, Moredon, Swindon.
Emergency services were called to the property following
reports of a “disorder” inside the home. When officers arrived, they found the
woman not breathing, and she was declared dead at the scene. Wiltshire Police
have confirmed the death is being treated as suspected murder, and the teenage
girl currently remains the only suspect.
Detective Inspector Darren Ambrose said:
“This is a serious incident in which a woman has sadly died.
We have set up a cordon at the address while an investigation is carried out. I
can confirm that we have arrested a teenage girl in connection with this
incident and we are not looking for anyone else.”
In a further statement, the force said:
“A 13-year-old girl has been arrested on suspicion of murder
in connection with the death of a woman in Baydon Close, Moredon, last night.
Residents can expect to see an increased police presence in the area while we
continue carrying out our enquiries into the woman’s death.
The suspect remains in custody at this time. As this is a
live investigation, please refrain from speculating online as this could
prejudice the ongoing case.”
Police say residents should expect heightened patrols in the
area as forensic teams and investigators continue work at the scene.
