Police have released CCTV images of a man they want to question in connection with the death of a nine-year-old girl in Lincolnshire.
Lilia Valutyte died from a single stab wound in Boston town centre, Lincolnshire, shortly after 6pm on Thursday.
Lincolnshire police also confirmed that two people previously arrested in connection with the incident had been released with no further action. The force had declined to confirm the ages or gender of the two people in custody, or say what offence they were arrested on suspicion of.
Ch Supt Martyn Parker said: “Our officers have been working round the clock on this investigation, and the public’s help may prove crucial.”
He added: “These are very clear images of a man we want to speak to, so I’d urge anyone with information to get in touch with us.”
Members of the public are urged not to approach the man, but to immediately call 999.
“This is a particularly tragic case and I’d like to reassure the public that we have a huge amount of resources dedicated to the investigation,” Parker said.
“We continue to provide support to the family of Lilia, as they grieve following this unimaginable loss.”
