Kellie Harrington deletes 'immigrants' tweet following death of 12-year-old girl in France

Kellie Harrington France Lola Daviet Dubliner Eva Vlaardingerbroek Dublin Murder

Olympic hero Kellie Harrington has said she doesn't "need the hate" after she deleted a tweet about the death of a 12-year-old girl in France.

The Dubliner's post came after the murder of Lola Daviet, who is believed to have been raped and tortured before she was killed. The gold medallist retweeted a video from GB News which featured Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek speaking on the death, reports the Irish Mirror.

Vlaardingerbroek said in the clip: “I woke up this morning to see the news of another young European girl who was sacrificed on the altar of mass migration. We have four people in custody, all migrants coming from Algeria. This is the 12th girl I believe in France that has been killed this year by an immigrant and that’s just France.”
