Katie, aged 7 was stabbed to death in the street.

I know someone has been arrested (and that's not for discussion)

I just feel so horrendously sad for this little girls family. 7 years old and such a brutal death.

Heartbreaking.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for being so sensible regarding speculation about the person who has been arrested, innocent until proven guilty and all that. We might whizz back and remove a couple of posts, but fear not, no one has done anything terrible as such.
Awful case, though. Sends shivers down all of our spines, absolutely horrific. Just let's not discuss the person arrested until the trial.

Hi everyone,
We have heard from the OP, she thinks it's best for the thread to go to In The News or Crime. Given that we don't know what has happened, really, we think In The News is the better choice for the moment. We will move it presently.

Hi everyone,
We are reading your reports about the information contained in EatShoots' newspaper article, and we've tried to establish whether this is in the public domain or not. From what we can make out, it may have been, for a while, but other than the News and Star report from 10am this morning we can't stand it up.
So to be on the safe side, we're going to make some deletions, and we hope that's okay. To be clear, we very much understand the need that many people have to vent their feelings when a tragedy of this nature occurs but we do try to keep details off the site unless they are in the public domain, and we don't much like speculation when there's really no way of knowing what's happened because, well, it's a bit grim.
