A man has been remanded into custody by a district judge after being accused of murdering a nine-year-old girl found stabbed in the street.
Deividas Skebas, 22, was arrested on Saturday after a CCTV appeal following the death of Lilia Valutyte in Boston, Lincolnshire, on Thursday. Skebas appeared at Lincoln Magistrates’ Court on Monday where he spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth during a two-minute hearing.
Skebas was told by District Judge Peter Deits “the offence you are facing is the most serious offence anyone can face in court.” Lilia died after suffering what is believed to be a stab wound in Fountain Lane, Boston.
