United Kingdom:Two people were being questioned on suspicion of murder yesterday following the death of a six-year-old girl who stopped breathing at a campsite in Hampshire.

Paramedics were called to the rural spot just after midnight where they found the child “fitting”. She was rushed to Southampton General Hospital but was pronounced dead a short time later.

A 30-year-old man and a 40- year-old woman, both from Hampshire, are being held in custody following their arrests.

A spokesman for the ambulance service said the little girl was “fitting and not breathing” when medics arrived at Holmsley campsite in Bransgore. “The child went into cardiac arrest and adrenalin was administered.” – (PA)
