Another teenager has been arrested following the death of schoolgirl Chloe Watson Dransfield. The 16-year-old,from Gomersal, was attacked after a party in Austhorpe, Leeds, at 5.55am on Saturday.
Despite the best efforts of paramedics and residents, who had rushed out of their homes to come to her aid, the teenager tragically died in hospital shortly after.
In an update, police have now confirmed a 14-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder while another three teens have been charged and remanded into custody, reports The Mirror.
The 14-year-old was arrested today and remained in custody, police said. Confirming the arrest of the 14-year-old boy, a spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said: “Members of the public are reminded that this is a live investigation and are asked to refrain from making comments or suggestions which may jeopardise court proceedings.”
Kayla Smith, 18, has been charged with Chloe’s murder, along with Archie Rycroft, 19, and a 17-year-old boy who cannot legally be named. The trio appeared at Leeds Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday charged with murder.
They did not enter pleas and were remanded in custody ahead of an upcoming hearing on May 1. All three teenagers spoke only to confirm their names and dates of birth, and no applications for bail were made.
A further man, who is 18 and from Leeds, has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody. An 18-year-old woman and a 17-year-old boy who were arrested on suspicion of murder have been released on bail pending further enquiries.
Chloe was described by her family as “stunning, confident, loyal and honest” in a tribute released after her death. The message read: “My beautiful princess Chloe. I cannot put into words how I feel that you are not here with me. You are my life, my world, my best friend and I know that I am yours. I cannot live without you – I need you.
“You are stunning, confident, loyal, honest and my family-oriented princess. When you walk into any room it lights up with your bubbly personality. There is so much I could say. There’s a big hole in my heart that can never be filled.”
The family added: “Your two sisters and big brother will always love and miss you to infinity. You will always and forever be in our hearts. Love Mum, Connor, Courtney and Cienna.”
Chloe’s father and other family members said they were “utterly devastated” and that she would “never be forgotten”.
“We miss every single thing about her. She was beautiful, full of joy, and had a wonderfully cheeky personality,” they said. “She embraced life with such happiness, and she had her whole future ahead of her. Chloe was loved by everyone who knew her, and the absence she leaves behind is immeasurable.”
