The 17-year-old girl was reportedly slashed in a knife-attack by a fellow refugee, inside therefugee centre.
The victim and the alleged attacker are both believed to have been seeking asylum in Norway after leaving their native Eritrea, Africa.
Investigation leader Jarl Aspen confirmed the victim had died as a result of the alleged attack and the suspect was arrested by officers following the incident at the Sunndal asylum centre.
He said: ”The detained man has been living at the centre for about a year, while the victim hasn’t been here that long.
”The situation was unclear so we dispatched several police officers to the scene. We now have control and the suspect has been detained.
”As far as we know, no one else was involved.”
The centre - which was set up in 1998 - has been closed while investigations continue.
Since January 2015 the camp has acted as a sanctuary for refugee youths who arrive in Norway without their parents.
It is not the first time security at a refugee centre has been called into question.
Earlier this month it was revealed that a shocking lack of security in refugee centres could give paedophiles unhindered access to children.
The gruesome warning came after four-year-old refugee Mohammed Januzi from Bosnia was abused and murdered when he was taken from a Government welfare office.
German officials warned security levels around asylum centres is leaving more children at risk.
Johannes-Wilhelm Rorig, the federal commissioner for child sexual abuse issues, says more paedophiles could exploit the scandalous lack of supervision.
He said: "Refugee children staying in tent camps, sports halls and former barracks, or, as in the case of Mohammed, at registration centres are currently not being sufficiently protected from sexual abuse.
“The problem is that people can access these sites without undergoing verification or identification controls and that can leave these sites without checks.
"More thorough controls must be brought in as quickly as possible.”
