Murder investigation launched following death of teenage girl in Leeds

Police have launched a murder investigation after the death of a 16-year-old girl in Leeds.

Officers were called just before 6am on 28 March to Kennerleigh Avenue, Austhorpe, to reports of a young woman being found unconscious in the street.

She had suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital for immediate medical treatment, but was pronounced dead shortly afterwards.

She is known to be a 16-year-old girl from the Cleckheaton area.

Her family have been notified and are now being supported by specially-trained officers.

Senior investigating officer, Detective Chief Superintendent Marc Bowes, said: "Following our appeal for further information yesterday, we have now identified the deceased as a 16-year-old girl from the Cleckheaton area.

"Her family have been informed and we are supporting them as they try to come to terms with what has happened."

"Our enquiries into the incident which led to her death are continuing, and I would appeal again to anyone who was in the Kennerleigh Avenue area in the early hours of yesterday morning to come forward if they have any information which could assist our investigation."

Four people - two women aged 18, a man aged 19 and a boy aged 17 - remain in custody today (Sunday) after they were arrested yesterday on suspicion of murder.
