Detectives from British Transport Police are calling on members of the public to help piece together the final moments of the life of 16-year-old Georgia Varley who was killed when she was struck by a train on Saturday night.
Georgia, a student from Wallasey, was at James Street station, Liverpool, on Saturday 22 October, at around 11.30pm, when she fell between a train and the platform and was killed as the train left the station.
The platform and the train were extremely busy and whilst BTP officers have spoken to many witnesses, there are still many who have yet to come forward.
Detective Chief Inspector Simon Taylor, leading the investigation for BTP, said:
“We are determined to work out exactly what happened to Georgia and I am calling on rail passengers in Liverpool to help with this.
“Did you see Georgia at the station or on the platform? Perhaps you were on the train and saw what happened?
“Whatever information you have, no matter how insignificant it may seem, it could prove valuable in helping us piece together Georgia’s final few minutes.”
DCI Taylor added: “Georgia has left behind a distraught family and we want to be able to tell them exactly what happened and help them come to terms with the tragedy.”
If you have any information about the incident please contact British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40 or call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
