Detectives are investigating the death of a 16-year-old girl whose body was found on a path in South Yorkshire.
The discovery was made by members of the public at 10.55am on Monday off Lordens Hill in Dinnington, 15 miles east of Sheffield.
Supt Sarah Poolman of South Yorkshire police said: “The investigation is in its very early stages; however, we are treating the death as suspicious.
“To provide reassurance to the local community and wider general public, additional police patrols are in place and will continue over the coming days. I would urge anyone who believes they have information about the incident to please come forward.”
The girl’s body was found close to the constituency office of the Labour MP Sir Kevin Barron. He said in a statement: “I am incredibly sad to hear about the discovery of a teenage girl’s body in Dinnington this morning. I would like to send my condolences to the family and friends of this young girl. It is important that we now allow the police time to investigate this incident.”
