    The family of Kelsey Womersley, whose death in an incident in Birstall on Friday 8 March remains under investigation, have asked the officers supporting them to advise people against donating to a ‘gofundme’ fundraising page which they have become aware of.

    The family want to highlight that the ‘Justice for Kelsey / Kelsey’s send off’ page is not something they were consulted about and therefore do not support at what continues to be a very difficult time for them.

    They do not require any fundraising in relation to Kelsey’s death and are advising members of the public who might make donations that this is not something they need.

    A 17-year-old girl, who was arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the incident, has been released pending further inquiries.
