Two people have been arrested following the death of a six-year-old girl who was taken to hospital from a campsite in Britain early today, police said.

Paramedics were called to the Holmsley campsite, in Bransgore, in Hampshire, just after midnight.

The girl was taken to Southampton General Hospital where she was later pronounced dead.

“A 30-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman, both from Gosport, have been arrested on suspicion of murder,” police said in a statement.

They pair remained in custody this morning.

The campsite confirmed that some guests were still at the site today as police continued their investigation.
