Emma Penfold said: ‘I didn’t know Kelly but live close by. No family should have to suffer this tragedy, especially young children.

‘What a waste of a young [life]. Kelly was clearly very loved and I hope this small donation helps towards what you need to give her the funeral you so wish to give her and I truly hope you get justice for what has happened. Much love xx.’

A police cordon in Grange Crescent has now been lifted, but police officers and PCSOs continue to patrol the area.
