A Lithuanian national has been remanded in custody on a charge of murdering a 9-year-old girl who was stabbed to death while playing in the street with her younger sister in Boston, a market town in Lincolnshire in the east of England.

Deividas Skebas, 22, was arrested on Saturday and charged with the murder of Lilia Valutyte, who was stabbed to death on July 28. She was also of Lithuanian origin but it is not clear if they were known to each other.
