Mum wanted for toddler's death

An inquest is due to open into the death of Sarah Dahane whose body was found in a house in Bicester last week.

It's still not known what caused her death. Her mother, who's wanted on suspicion of murder, is believed to be in Kenya.

An inquest will be opened tomorrow into the death of a toddler who was found dead at her home in Bicester.

Sarah Dahane was found by police in Herald Way, Glory Farm, last Thursday.

Police said yesterday that the death was being treated as murder and that her mother Angela Whitworth, who is believed to have fled to Kenya, is a suspect.

The inquest will be opened by the Oxfordshire Coroner at Oxford's County Hall.

Detectives have confirmed they are treating the death of a baby girl as murder and they have named her mother as the suspect.

But Thames Valley officers have also revealed they believe she has fled to Kenya. The body of Sarah Dahane, who was just 20 months, was discovered in a house in Bicester five days ago.

There were ongoing proceedings between her mother and father over her custody. This from Kate Bunkall who speaks to Det Ch Insp Ian Hunter
