Camden social services are carrying out a serious case review into the death of a six-year-old girl who was on its child protection register.

Police have launched a murder inquiry after Ukleigha Batten-Froggatt and her mother, Nicole Batten, were found dead at their home last week.

Police forced their way into their flat following concerns that Ukleigha had not been to school since late February. They discovered her body and her mother's. Post-mortems revealed Batten had died from a single stab wound and Ukleigha had been strangled. Police have since arrested Batten's partner on suspicion of their murder.
