Teenager held after boys fatal roundabout fall

A 13-year-old boy has been arrested after a 12-year-old boy fatally fell from a roundabout in a playground.

Cheshire Police believe Logan Carter died after the wheels of an e-bike were used to propel the roundabout in the park in Winsford on Friday.

The boy was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and has been released under investigation.

The roundabout has been covered with red and white tape while flowers and other tributes have been left nearby.

Logan died at the scene of the incident at the Wharton Recreation Ground, off Ledward Street, at about 18:00 BST.

The teenage suspect was arrested later that evening, police added.

Cheshire Police said it was exploring a "number of lines of inquiry" into what had happened.

A force spokesperson said: "As part of this, officers are exploring reports that an e-bike was used to propel a childrens roundabout in the park at around the time of the incident occurring."

People in the town told the BBC the community was "in shock".

Throughout the day mourners, including staff from Logans school, visited the playground to lay flowers and cards.

Trevor Bell, 64, said Logan would often give his dog a stroke while he was out walking in the park, adding that he seemed a "real lovely lad".

Mr Bell said: "Hes just a happy-go-lucky little lad and its a tragedy, it really is.

"It shook everyone up here.

"Everywheres gone quiet. You know, I think were all still in a bit of a shock, actually."

In a statement issued via Cheshire Police on Sunday, Logans family said he "made every day worth living".

They added: "He had an infectious personality and a beautiful smile.

"Everyone wanted to be where Logan was. He was a little boy who was so full of life and wanted to make everyone laugh."

His family described him as "everyones therapy person" who "will be missed more than we can ever put into words".

"We are taking comfort from the words of support we have received whilst we take time to come to terms with the untimely loss of our blue-eyed boy," they added.
