Mother's heartbreak over death of daughter, 7, in York

A 15-year-old girl was charged with the murder of a seven-year-old girl in York. Katie Rough (pictured) was found bleeding to death around 90 minutes after she finished primary school at 3pm on Monday. Her mother Alison Rough (centre), 38, collapsed and cried: 'No, no, it's my little girl.' Katie was taken to hospital but died a short time later. Less than a fortnight earlier, she had been a bridesmaid at her mother's wedding (far left and centre). Police charged the 15-year-old with murder and possession of an offensive weapon.

She will appear before magistrates in York at 10am today. Dog walkers are believed to have come across Katie lying on the grass just yards from a quiet cul-de-sac in York at 4.30pm on Monday. Witnesses gave traumatic accounts of how Katie's parents, Alison, 38, and her new husband Paul, 34 were quickly on the scene and watched in horror as the emergency services fought in vain to save their daughter. They said Mrs Rough shouted 'she's killed her' while her husband was slumped against a wall in despair.

Police forensic experts put up a tent at the spot where the youngster was found

Forensic teams remained at the scene for most of yesterday. Officers were seen at a house believed to belong to the family of the girl who was killed

Another resident of the street said: 'I arrived in my car behind the mother. I wasn't quite sure what was going on, it wasn't until I spoke to the police that I found out.

'The mother was on her knees in the middle of the road, crying and saying things. It was quite distressing.'

Two police vans were parked outside a house belonging to Katie's family.

Mrs Rough has three older children from a previous relationship and Mr Rough is a father-of-two.

They had been in a relationship for years but only married in the local registry office on December 28, 2016.

Katie's aunt Sarah Nockels, 37, said: 'We are all just absolutely devastated. We just need to be given time to grieve.'

Seven-year-old girl Katie was found with life threatening injuries in this alley. She later died in hospital. A 15-year-old girl has been arrested and was being questioned by police yesterday
