A 14-year-old boy who was arrested after a little girl was killed in a hit-and-run has now been released on bail. 

Katnis Selezneva, seven, was killed at 7pm on Thursday when a motorbike knocked her down as she played just yards away from her front door. 

The teenager, who was remanded in custody on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, has now been released ‘with strict conditions’.  

Officers also say they have found two abandoned motorbikes which will now be forensically examined. 

Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes, from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: ‘Our work to establish the facts around this tragic incident is continuing. 

‘We have recovered two motorbikes and they will now be forensically examined as part of those extensive inquiries. 

‘And at this awful time our thoughts remain with the family of Katniss, who are being supported and have asked to be left to grieve in private. 

‘I would also like to extend my thanks to all those people who have already come to us with information, it is truly appreciated. 

‘We would ask again that anyone who was at the scene does still come forward, as what they know may be valuable to our ongoing investigation.’
