A mentally ill immigrant from Lithuania stabbed a nine-year-old girl to death as she played hula-hoop in the street outside the shop where her mother worked, a jury has ruled.

The jury at Lincoln Crown Court, who saw CCTV footage of the attack on Lilia Valutyte in Boston, Lincolnshire, on July 28, 2022, ruled Deividas Skebas, 23, was the killer.
