Tributes have been made following the death of Rhiannon Skye Whyte, who was seriously assaulted at Bescot Stadium railway station.

The incident took place on Sunday 20th October at around 11:25 pm where Rhiannon was found to have injuries that were consistent with being stabbed.

She was taken to hospital but sadly died yesterday, 23rd October.

Deng Colmajek who is 18, was arrested and charged with attempted murder following the incident but detectives say that they will make an application to change the charge following Rhiannon’s death.

“The most loved daughter, compassionate sister, loving aunty, gracious granddaughter, beautiful niece, wonderful cousin and devoted friend.

“The most selfless person you were brave, quirky, funny, and always there for anyone who needed it. There is not enough paper in the world to even begin to write a tribute for you, but no one deserves it more.

“The weird thing about this devastating loss is that we now need to navigate life without you, but how? If your short life will teach anything it’s to cherish each moment with those you love as tomorrow is never guaranteed.

“You are so strong, a fighter and no matter what happens, we as a family will always be united for you. We will love and miss you for now for always and forever.”
