Rumours that an escaped prisoner was involved in the death of a teenage girl in Warrington have been quashed by the Ministry of Justice.
Yesterday afternoon (Saturday February 11) emergency services were scrambled to Culcheth Linear Park following reports that a girl had sustained serious injuries. She was later pronounced dead at the scene.
Since the incident, a number of rumours have been circulating in the local area and on social media - including one that an escaped prisoner from nearby HMP Risley was involved in the death. However the Ministry of Justice has told the Manchester Evening News that there have been no recent escapes or absconds from the jail.
