Police have named a woman whose death has sparked a murder investigation.<\/p>\n
Sarah Forrester, 55, a mental health counsellor, died after an incident at a house in Moredon, Swindon, on Friday evening.<\/p>\n
A 13-year-old girl arrested on suspicion of murder has since been released on bail.<\/p>\n
Wiltshire police said officers responded to reports of disorder at a property. When they arrived, they found Forrester unresponsive and she was declared dead at the scene.<\/p>\n
A heightened police presence remains in the area while inquiries continue.<\/p>\n
In a statement on Sunday, DCI Guy Elkins said: \u201cOur thoughts are with Sarah\u2019s friends and family at this awful time.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn investigation into her death is being led by our major crime investigation team and local residents will continue to see increased policing activity in the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cA 13-year-old girl arrested on suspicion of murder has been bailed and I can confirm that we are not looking for anyone else in connection with Sarah\u2019s death. We continue to urge people not to speculate on the incident.\u201d<\/p>\n
A statement from Swindon-based mental health charity the Kelly Foundation, where Forrester worked, said everyone was \u201cheartbroken at the sudden loss of our lovely Sarah\u201d.<\/p>\n
It added: \u201cShe was completely committed to the charity and devoted to her two young children.<\/p>\n
\u201cSarah was pivotal in the work that we do here at the Kelly Foundation and her loss is a hugely traumatic event, not just for us and her colleagues but more especially for her children and family.<\/p>\n
\u201cSarah was an incredible person, kind, thoughtful, considerate, caring and funny and she embodied everything that we hope our charity is and can be.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe enjoyed her role with us and we all loved working with her, she will be truly, truly missed.<\/p>\n
\u201cOut of respect for her family, we will not be making any further comment at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n
The foundation was set up in memory of Kelly Jobanputra, a BBC Radio Wiltshire presenter who took her own life in 2019.<\/p>\n
