The heartbroken mum of a 12-year-old who died last year has spoken out as she buys flowers instead of birthday presents.
Semina Halliwell died on June 12, 2021, after spending four nights in hospital, with the year seven pupil at Stanley High School in Southport taking her own life after an interview with police, mum Rachel claims. The 12-year-old girl claimed she was raped by an older boy who she said had groomed her over Snapchat.
Rachel has now spoken out again as she remembers her daughter for the second year on her birthday, where she will be taking flowers to her grave instead of handing over gifts and a cake. Speaking to the ECHO, Rachel emotionally said that she is still "angry" and heartbroken she will never see her daughter grow up.
