British police have named a nine-year-old girl who died from a suspected stab wound in Boston, Lincolnshire.

Later in the afternoon, Chief Superintendent Kate Anderson said: “Our thoughts continue to be with Lilia’s family and friends.”
The senior officer had described the nine-year-old’s death as an “utter tragedy”.
