Search: Chanelle Jones death
A man said to be the father of a teenage girl found stabbed to death in a car is being questioned by police.
The body of Chanelle Sasha Jones, 17, was found in a Ford Fiesta when police stopped it with a stinger device in Aberaeron, Ceredigion, west Wales, after following the car for around 20 miles.
Detectives from Dyfed-Powys Police are holding a man in his 40s at Aberystwyth police station.
The suspect - who was arrested at the scene and treated in hospital for injuries suffered when the car was stopped - is reported to be the teenager's father.
Officers brought the car to a halt in a lay-by on the A487 on Sunday night.
A post-mortem examination on Tuesday revealed Chanelle - known to her friends as Sasha and from Cardigan- had died of stab wounds. She had been reported missing on Sunday afternoon.
The Fiesta crashed into a parked camper van in the lay-by, leaving the van's occupants with minor injuries.
Police appealed for help in tracing Sasha's final movements and want to speak to anyone who may have seen her between 3.30am and 10.15pm on Sunday.
