Firefighters found the body of a child in the caravan
Police are continuing to question two people in connection with the death of a child in a suspected arson attack on a caravan.

The pair are being interviewed after a fire at a travellers' site in Broughton Lane, Aylesbury on Friday night.

The child has not been identified and a Thames Valley Police spokeswoman said it could take some time because of the burns suffered.

A post-mortem examination was being carried out at Stoke Mandeville Hospital on the victim.

Emergency services were called to the caravan on Friday night at about 1900 GMT on Friday after passers-by reported seeing flames.
