Her family home in the Prestwich area of the city, which has a large Jewish community, was near the building where she was found.

Police said they were keeping an “open mind” in the investigation.

Superintendent Caroline Hemmingway of the Greater Manchester Police said, “We are currently investigating the tragic death of a 16-year-old girl in Kersal, and it is our top priority to find out exactly how she died.

“The investigation is still in its early stages and a scene remains in place in the building near to Brookside Drive,” she added.

“We are trying to piece together this puzzle and help give the girl’s family the answers they deserve.”

King David High School said in a statement that “Sarah was a lovely, bright, intelligent and well-mannered pupil and she will be hugely missed by everyone at school.”
