Police have charged a 15-year-old boy with causing death by dangerous driving after a seven-year-old girl was killed following a collision involving a motorbike in Blakenall.
The boy, who can’t be named for legal reasons, was charged yesterday (25 March). He is set to appear at Wolverhampton Magistrates Court on 10 April.
Seven-year-old Katniss Seleznev died on 27 July last year following a collision involving a motorbike in Turnstone Road. Police say they've kept her devastated family informed with the latest development.
Det Sgt Paul Hughes, from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “I would like to extend my thanks to all those people who have come forward with information to help us with this investigation which has been in-depth and thorough.
"Whilst the charge is a positive step the court process now needs to run its course and I would remind people that speculation especially on social media does not help Katniss’ family.
“Our thoughts continue to remain with the family of Katniss who are still trying to come to terms with her tragic death.”
