Flowers left for girl, 9, after tragedy on industrial estate
A nine-year-old girl from West Yorkshire died after being found with serious injuries at Elliot Industrial Estate in Arbroath. Police Scotland is treating the death as suspicious and has arrested a 35-year-old white British man who was known to the girl; no one else is being sought. Her family, who were camping nearby, is receiving specialist support, while officers continue inquiries and maintain a cordon and increased presence at the site. Local residents and workers expressed shock, and members of the public left floral tributes.
