Girl, 13, Arrested After Woman Found Dead in Swindon
A tragic incident in Swindon is under investigation after a 55-year-old woman was found dead in her home, and a 13-year-old girl was arrested on suspicion of murder — later released on police bail as enquiries continue.
The Incident
• On the evening of Friday, 21 November 2025, officers from Wiltshire Police were called to a property on Baydon Close in the Moredon area of Swindon, following reports of a “disorder.”
• Upon arrival, emergency services found a woman — now identified as Sarah Forrester, 55 — unresponsive. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
• No other injuries were reported at the property.
Suspect & Investigation Status
• A 13-year-old girl was arrested in connection with the death. Because the suspect is a minor, her identity is not being disclosed.
• She was subsequently released on police bail while officers continue to investigate.
• Police have confirmed they are not seeking any further suspects at this time.
• The cause of death has not yet been made public. According to police, investigations are ongoing to ascertain the full circumstances surrounding what happened.
Who Was Sarah Forrester?
• Sarah Forrester worked as a counselling co-ordination manager for the local mental-health charity The Kelly Foundation.
• She was also a mother of two, and staff at the charity described her as “incredible, caring and wonderfully kind.”
• Colleagues and neighbours have expressed shock and grief at her death, emphasising the suddenness of the loss.
Community Response & Police Warnings
• Following the incident, there has been an increased police presence in the area, and a cordon was placed around the property while forensic and investigative work was carried out.
• Police have urged residents not to speculate about the circumstances of the death or the suspect’s motives, warning that public speculation could prejudice the ongoing investigation.
• Authorities have also encouraged anyone with information or concerns to contact the neighbourhood policing team.
Why this Case is Delicate & Still Evolving
Because the suspect is just 13, and because the cause of death has not yet been disclosed, there is limited verified information. Legal safeguards — including anonymity for minors — also restrict what can be published. The release of the suspect on bail does not mean the case is closed; it simply reflects standard procedure at this stage while police conduct full enquiries.
It remains unclear whether this was a random act, a domestic dispute, or something else. The lack of public detail on cause of death and motive means any narrative beyond confirmed facts would be speculative.
Finally, the case has hit the community hard — many people who knew the victim are deeply affected, expressing shock and sorrow at the loss of someone regarded as kind, helpful, and dedicated to supporting others through mental-health challenges.
