A community has been left in mourning once again after two girls from the same school died in water-related tragedies less than a year apart.
Abbie Walton, 15, has been named as the latest victim after emergency service descended on the River Etherow near Hodge Lane, in Broadbottom in Tameside on Wednesday night (June 14).
The youngster was sadly pronounced dead despite the best efforts of paramedics, after police were called to reports of a person in difficulty in the water.
