Community come together to remember eight-year-old stab victim

A fundraising event has been held in memory of an eight-year-old girl who died last month after being stabbed in Brownhills in Walsall.

Mylee Billingham was found with knife wounds at a house in Valley View at around 9.15pm on Saturday 20 January. She was taken to hospital with stab injuries but later died.

Earlier this afternoon (Sunday 18 February) a family fun day was organised by the local community to raise money to support her family.

Organisers say it was a chance for everyone to remember Mylee and celebrate her life.

The father of the eight-year-old, William Billingham, has been charged with her murder and has been remanded in custody.
