This weekend, I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Cassie Hayes, who was attacked and killed whilst at work.



This was an unprovoked and cowardly attack, and I understand the primary suspect is in custody and a date has been set for their trial.

I spoke with Chief Superintendent Matthew Boyle shortly after the incident, and he has provided me with an update and further reassurances.

Police are now appealing for witnesses. If you have any further information, please contact Merseyside Police on 101 quoting log 470 of 13th January of the Crimestoppers line anonymously on 0800 555 111.

My thoughts are with Cassie’s family, friends and, of course, her daughter at this sad time, and to the emergency services who responded to the situation.

A donation page has been set up in memory of Cassie. If you are able to contribute, you can do so below.
