Tributes are pouring in for a woman who died after an incident in a home in Moredon, Swindon.
Sarah Forrester, 55, tragically lost her life following a "disorder" altercation in a home in central Swindon.
Wiltshire Police are treating the death as murder and arrested a 13-year-old girl in connection to the death.
Detective Chief Superintendent Guy Elkins said: “Our thoughts are with Sarah’s friends and family at this awful time.
“An 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.
“A 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’s death.
“We continue to urge people not to speculate on the incident. We'd encourage anyone with concerns to speak with their local Neighbourhood Policing Team, either by emailing or approaching our officers in person.”
One person, who will remain anonymous, knew Sarah and found the sudden news of a her death a "shock."
They said: "It is very sad, I did know her. Where I worked in a café, she would come in and grab a coffee.
"I do not know what to make of it right now as we do not know the ins and outs but it is incredibly sad.
"Sarah was very bubbly and a really nice lady who was happy. You do not expect these things to happen but it is hard to tell when you do not know the circumstances."
Sarah was a charity worker involved with the Kelly Foundation - an organisation that focuses on the Swindon area to provide a one-stop shop for adults experiencing short or long-term mental health challenges.
In a statement, the charity said they were "heartbroken at the sudden loss of our lovely Sarah".
"She was completely committed to the charity and devoted to her two young children," they said.
"Sarah 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.
"Sarah was an incredible person, kind, thoughtful, considerate, caring and funny and she embodied everything that we hope our charity is and can be.
"She enjoyed her role with us and we all loved working with her, she will be truly, truly missed.
"Out of respect for her family, we will not be making any further comment at this time."
