Tributes have been paid to Britain’s youngest councillor, who has been found dead in her university accommodation.
Clarissa Slade was 18 when she was elected a Conservative councillor at Mid Devon District Council in 2015. Her body was discovered by her housemate on Monday.
Her father Colin Slade, who is also a Conservative councillor, said the family were “still pretty much in the dark” about the circumstances of her death.
