15-year-old girl bailed in Windermere murder investigation

A 15-year-old girl who was arrested as part of a murder investigation in Windermere, has been released on bail.

South Lakes Magistrates have now granted Cumbria Police a further 36 hours to question three other suspects.

They are:

• Two men, aged 26 and 31, who are local to the area
• One woman, aged 48, who was visiting Windermere

The investigation was launched after the body of 44-year-old Gordon James Smith was found in the Lake Road area of the town, on July 1.

The 15-year-old girl has been bailed until next Friday (10 July).
