Pictured: ‘Wonderfully variety’ mother-of-two discovered useless at residence in Swindon – as woman, 13, arrested for homicide is bailed

Tributes have poured in for a ‘wonderfully kind’ mental health worker who was found dead at her home on Saturday. 

Sarah Forrester, who was in her early 50s, was found unresponsive after police  were sent to her address following reports of disorder. 

The entrance to her pale brown pebbledash-fronted three bed home was today cordoned off by police tape and an officer stood in front of the gate to the property. 

A 13-year-old girl was arrested by police on suspicion of murder but has since been bailed. 

One source told the Daily Mail that a 13-year-old girl was heard yelling just days before Sarah was killed.

There were no other reported injuries, and police said the victim’s next of kin have been informed. 

Friends and neighbours of the popular mother-of-two described her as ‘a wonderfully kind woman’.

Next door neighbour Daniella Silva, 29, said: ‘A few days ago, I heard someone in the street shouting at Sarah.

‘The next day Sarah called round and apologised for the argument. Sarah did not deserve to be treated like that. She 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

‘Sarah was an incredibly kind person and she had a big, warm heart.

‘I was lucky enough to be a good friend of hers for seven years.’

A statement from the Kelly Foundation read: ‘Everyone at The Kelly Foundation is heartbroken at the sudden loss of our lovely Sarah.

‘She was completely committed to the charity and devoted to her two young children.

‘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.’

Detectives from Wiltshire police were making house-to-house enquiries in Baydon Close, Moredon, where the murder happened.

The property has been cordoned off while enquiries are carried out to establish what happened.  

Detective Inspector Darren Ambrose, from the Major Crime Investigation Team, said: ‘This is a serious incident in which a woman has sadly died. 

‘We have set up a cordon at the address while an investigation is carried out. 

‘I can confirm that we have arrested a teenage girl in connection with this incident and we are not looking for anyone else.’
