The parents of an eight-year-old girl found hanged in her bedroom have been arrested in connection with her death.
Simon and Susan Moody were interviewed under caution immediately after finding Charlotte Avenall’s body at their home in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, last month.
Mr Moody, 32, and his 24-year-old wife Susan have now been arrested in connection with her death.
The young girl, who had severe learning disabilities, was discovered hanged in her bedroom on September 12.
A spokesman for Nottinghamshire Police said: “A 32-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were arrested today in connection with the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of eight-year-old Charlotte Avenall, from Mansfield.
“They are currently being questioned by police.”
Following her death, Nottinghamshire County Council’s social services department said it would be reviewing the care and support it offered Charlotte and her family.
She was known to social services from birth and attended Birklands Primary School in nearby Warsop.
A post-mortem examination carried out at Leicester Royal Infirmary on Wednesday night confirmed the cause of the girl’s death at her home in Moor Street as hanging.
