A WOMAN who was found dead in her home has been pictured as her friends pay tribute to “a wonderfully kind, big-hearted woman.”
Sarah Forrester, who was in her early 50s, was found unresponsive in her home after cops scrambled to the address following reports of disorder.
Emergency crews tried to save the mother-of-two but she was tragically pronounced dead at the scene on Friday.
A 13-year-old girl was arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the incident shortly after cops arrived.
The teen was taken into custody and questioned by officers from Wiltshire Police.
She has since been released on bail as an investigation into the death continues.
There were no other reported injuries, and police said Sarah’s next of kin have been informed.
The property was cordoned off as the force carried out their investigation.
Friends and neighbours of the popular mother-of-two, who lived at the terraced home on the outskirts of Swindon, described her as “a wonderfully kind woman.”
Next door neighbour Daniella Silva, 29, told The Sun: “Sarah was a wonderfully kind, big-hearted woman.
“The odd thing is that I was home all day on Friday and I didn’t hear a thing. The first I knew of it was when the police arrived at about seven o’clock in the evening.”
Another neighbour, Kerry Marsh, 53, who also works in mental health, said: “I am not going to speculate on what may have happened, but Sarah was a wonderful friend and has always been a brilliant mother to her two children.
“Sarah was an incredibly kind person and she had a big, warm heart.
“She did everything for her children.
“I was lucky enough to be a good friend of hers for seven years.”
The entrance to the pale brown pebbledash-fronted three bed home where Sarah lived with her two children was today cordoned off by police tape and an officer stood in front of the gate to the property.
Detectives from Wiltshire Police were making house-to-house enquiries in Baydon Close, Moredon, where the murder happened.
