A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the body of a teenage girl was found at a home in Wiltshire.
Emergency services were called to a residential address in Springfield Drive, Calne, on Friday afternoon but despite the efforts of medics, the girl was pronounced dead at the scene.
Later, a 17-year-old male was arrested in the Chippenham area on suspicion of murder. He is in custody.
Superintendent Conway Duncan said: "The thoughts of everyone at Wiltshire Police are with the family of the victim at what must be a devastating time for them.
"They are receiving support from specially-trained officers and we will continue to do everything we can to help them come to terms with what has happened.
"This investigation is still in its early stages but I would like to reassure the local community that a robust police response was launched yesterday and will continue in the days to come.
"People in Calne are likely to see a significant police presence in the area over the weekend as our enquiries progress."
Calne is a small town of about 17,000 people, according to 2011 census data.
It sits 33 miles from Bristol and is less than 20 miles away from Bath.
