Mum of murdered schoolgirl working to save lives across the city

Life-saving bleed control packs have been installed across Liverpool in memory of Ava White.

The 12-year-old was killed in Liverpool city centre in November 2021 following an argument about a Snapchat video. Ava died in hospital after being stabbed in the neck with a flick-knife by a boy, then 14, following the disagreement at an event for the switching-on of Christmas lights.

The boy, who has since turned 15, ditched the weapon, gave a false alibi and blamed another boy for killing Ava, before changing his story and claiming to have acted in self defence. The boy, from South Liverpool, was convicted of murder and handed a life sentence at Liverpool Crown Court in July last year.
