Woman charged with murder of 13-year-old

A WOMAN was last night charged with the murder of a 13-year-old girl who was found fatally stabbed in a park.

South Yorkshire Police said Hannah Bonser, 26, was expected to appear before Doncaster magistrates today charged with the murder of Casey-Lyanne Kearney.

The teenager was found lying injured in Elmfield Park, Doncaster, on Tuesday afternoon after dialling 999 for help. She was taken to hospital but later died. South Yorkshire Police said Bonser, of Cusworth House, Doncaster, had also been charged with two counts of possession of a bladed article.

Officers have described the incident as a “random, isolated attack” and appealed for people to come forward.

It emerged Casey-Lyanne called police and a passer-by phoned for an ambulance John Willis, who comforted Casey-Lyanne, was one of the first people to find the dying girl.

He was alerted to her plight by his two sons who saw her lying on the ground in a semi-conscious state.

He said: “We got her in the recovery position. She didn’t move a lot and she didn’t speak. Her breathing was very shallow and she was very pale. The police arrived very promptly and took over the situation. I was very upset, it was very shocking.”
