Lilia Valutyte: Boston memorial plan for stabbed girl

Friends of a nine-year-old girl who was fatally stabbed in a Lincolnshire street have said they hope to build a memorial to commemorate her life.

Lilia Valutyte was found with a stab wound in Fountain Lane in Boston on 28 July.

Jurate Matulioniene, one of the people behind the plans, said local residents wanted to create an "angel memorial" as a tribute to Lilia.

Deividas Skebas, 22, of Thorold Street, Boston, has been charged with Lilia's murder and is next due to appear in court on 19 September.
