Girl, 15, is charged with murder after seven-year-old girl died from having her throat cut - two weeks after she was a bridesmaid at her mother's wedding

A 15-year-old girl was charged with the murder of a seven-year-old girl in York. Katie Rough (pictured) was found bleeding to death around 90 minutes after she finished primary school at 3pm on Monday. Her mother Alison Rough (centre), 38, collapsed and cried: 'No, no, it's my
little girl.' Katie was taken to hospital but died a short time later. Less than a fortnight earlier, she had been a bridesmaid at her mother's wedding (far left and centre). Police charged the 15-year-old with murder and possession of an offensive weapon. She will appear before magistrates in York at 10am today. Dog walkers are believed to have come across Katie lying on the grass just yards from a quiet cul-de-sac in York at 4.30pm on Monday. Witnesses gave traumatic accounts of how Katie's parents, Alison, 38, and her new husband Paul, 34 were quickly on the scene and watched in horror as the emergency services fought in vain to save their daughter. They said Mrs Rough shouted 'she's killed her' while her husband was slumped against a wall in despair.
