Tuesday 2 August 2022 02:09 AM Fruit picker, 22, gets two kisses at family party in new image trends now
The man charged with stabbing a nine-year-old girl to death in a town centre has been pictured being kissed by two women at a family party.
Lithuanian national Deividas Skebas, 22, was remanded into custody at Lincoln Crown Court, hours after an initial appearance at the city's magistrates' court on Monday.
Lilia Valutyte was found with a stab wound outside her mother's embroidery shop in Boston, Lincolnshire, where she had been playing with her five-year-old sister.
Skebas, a fruit picker, was arrested on Saturday when armed officers surrounded a nearby house – four hours after police issued CCTV images of a suspect seen in the area shortly before the stabbing.
