A man has been charged in connection with the death of a nine-year-old girl in Arbroath.<\/p>\n
Officers were called to the Elliot Industrial Estate shortly after midnight on Sunday following reports that the child, from West Yorkshire, had been found injured.<\/p>\n
She was taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee alongside four other people, but later died as a result of her injuries.<\/p>\n
Police said a 35-year-old white British man, who was known to the girl, had been arrested. He has now been charged and is scheduled to appear at Forfar Sheriff Court on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Det Insp Mike Ness, of Police Scotland’s major investigation team, said no-one else was being sought in connection with the incident.<\/p>\n
He said the girl’s family members, who were camping in the area, were being supported by specialist officers.<\/p>\n
Det Insp Ness added: “Our thoughts remain with those affected by these events.<\/p>\n
“A police presence will remain in the area while our enquiries continue.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has been charged in connection with the death of a nine-year-old girl in Arbroath.
