A MAN and woman arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of a six-year-old girl have been released without charge.

Police said this evening that they had downscaled the investigation after a post mortem examination revealed that the girl’s death was not suspicious.

The 30-year-old man and woman aged 40 had been arrested in the early hours of this morning after the young girl began fitting and stopped breathing.

Officers said that the arrests made this morning were necessary as a result of a report from experienced medical professionals.

The girl’s death is no longer being treated as suspicious but a tragic incident.

An investigation into the cause of the girl’s death is ongoing.

Officers will remain on the camp site and in the vicinity for the next 24 hours to reassure visitors to the site and the local community.

Hampshire Constabulary would like to thank the camp site and its residents for their co-operation and assistance with our enquiries.

Robert Louden, the Camping and Caravanning Club's director general, said: "We were saddened to hear the tragic news earlier today and have since been assisting the police with their ongoing investigations.

"On behalf of the Club I would personally like to thank our holiday site managers, assistants and campers on site at Holmsley for their full cooperation and compassion, and our thoughts are very much with the little girl's family and friends at this difficult time."
