A woman has been arrested on suspicion of child neglect after the unexplained death of an eight-year-old girl in Lampeter.

Dyfed-Powys Police are investigating circumstances of the girl's death at Maes-y-Deri in the town on the evening of 22 December.

The police have confirmed that a 33-year-old woman has been released as inquiries continue into the "sudden death" of the girl.

Meanwhile Public Health Wales said on Wednesday that it was looking into possible links to a rare complication of Strep A infections.

It said it was working with Hywel Dda University Health Board and Ceredigion Ceredigion Council following the death of a child in Lampeter.
