A 22-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after nine-year-old Lilia Valutyte was stabbed to death.
Lillia, a Lithuanian national, was fatally stabbed in Boston, Lincolnshire, on Thursday evening, in an incident which has rocked the community.It came after the force earlier issued CCTV images of a man they said they wanted to locate, following a combination of intelligence and information supplied by several members of the public.
Their mother, Lina Savicke, was understood to have been working just 10ft away watching her girls from the window of the café. "I'm sure her mum wouldn't have been far away as she always checked on them. She was a very quiet girl, and I just can't understand it."Devastated residents described seeing a discarded toy pram, understood to belong to Lillia's sibling, at the crime scene late on Thursday.Jurate Matulioniene, a family friend and chairwoman of the Boston Lithuanian Community, described Lillia as "a beautiful angel" who loved dancing.
