Man, 31, arrested on suspicion of murder after death of three-year-old girl 'within a family setting'
Police say the case appears to involve a family setting, and no one else is being sought as detectives investigate the girl's death.
Police arrested a 31-year-old man on suspicion of murder after officers found a three-year-old girl dead inside a home on Pyrcroft Road in Chertsey on June 25.
Officers arrived at the scene around 5:40 PM following reports of concern for the girl's safety. The 31-year-old man was found suffering a serious injury and is receiving hospital treatment before entering custody.
Surrey Police's Major Crime Team is leading the investigation into the death, which enquiries suggest occurred within a family setting. The Senior Investigating Officer said, "This is a tragic incident, and our officers are working hard to build a picture of what happened."
Authorities confirmed there is no risk to the public, though a significant police presence will remain on Pyrcroft Road over the coming days. Officials thanked local residents for their cooperation during the investigation.
