The mother of a 14-year-old Ukrainian girl found dead on a UK beach has paid tribute to her "beautiful" daughter. Albina Yevko was found dead on Dawlish beach in Devon on Saturday evening - just hours after she was reported missing.
It is understood she fled her war-torn home after the Russian invasion to the Devon town and was attending the local secondary school. Devon and Cornwall Police say the cause of death is still 'unexplained'and forensic toxicology reports from a post-mortem examination are expected to provide the answers later this week.
But paying tribute, alongside the release of a photo of her daughter, mum Inna Yevko said: “Myself and my family are devastated to have lost our beautiful Albina. Nothing can ever replace her in our hearts.
