Grieving mum wants everyone to see harrowing photo of daughter days before she died

A heartbroken mum wants the public to see a harrowing photo of her 12-year-old daughter taken just days before she died.

Semina Halliwell died on June 12, 2021, after spending four nights in hospital. Her mum, Rachel Halliwell, said she took her own life shortly after an interview with a police officer.

Semina, a Year 7 pupil at Stanley High School in Southport, said she was raped by an older boy who she said had groomed her over Snapchat. Rachel has now released a photograph of Semina taken in hospital just days before she died, as she raised concerns over how police had handled her daughter's case.
