On the night of her daughter’s wedding, the grandmother of a child who was stabbed to death set fire to a hotel while her relatives were inside.
On July 28 in Boston, Lincolnshire, Lilia Valutyte, nine, was slain after being attacked while playing in the street with her sister, five.
Lilia was discovered with a stab wound outside the embroidery business of her Lithuanian mother, Lina Savicke.
Inga Papstaitiene, Lilia’s grandma, reportedly set a hotel fire in September 2019 that killed her granddaughter, Lilia.
In June, a Lithuanian court sentenced the 55-year-old grandmother to eight years in prison after she was found guilty of arson.
After a quarrel with her daughter Lina Savicke, Lilia’s mother, and her son-in-law Aurelijus Savickas on their wedding day, she set fire to the hotel.
Papstaitiene denies arson and intends to file an appeal next month. In addition, she alleged that her daughter, Ms. Savicke, and son-in-law, Mr. Savickas, assaulted her.
Earlier this month, 22-year-old Deividas Skebas, a Lithuanian national, was remanded in custody after being charged with the murder of Lilia at Lincoln Crown Court.
On Saturday, it was revealed that he was brought to the hospital following an assault in a prison cell.
Inga Papstaitiene, seen with granddaughter Lilia, set a hotel on fire in 2019 while the child was inside.
After an argument, the hotel caught fire on the evening of Lilia’s mother’s wedding.
On July 28 in Boston, Lincolnshire, Lilia Valutyte was killed after being attacked while playing in the street with her five-year-old sister.
Lina Savicke, Lilia’s mother, was also in the Lithuanian hotel on her wedding night when it caught fire.
Lina’s parents were opposed to her marriage to Aurelijus. Her mother attempted to murder Lina and her family. It was horrible. And then to have your child murdered in front of you is incomprehensible. She has endured so much pain,’ a friend of Ms. Savicke told The Telegraph.
She was suspected of attempting to start a fire in the hotel where her mother, daughter, and grandchild were staying.
The court was informed that she ignited the fire by lighting a box of plastic and glass and leaving it on a burner with the gas on.
Lilia and all other hotel guests fled unharmed.
According to The Telegraph, Papstaitiene paid the building owner €500 not to disclose the incident.
However, the police began their investigation once the mother of Lilia reported it.
Lilia’s bereaved family is seeking funds for a statue to be erected in her honor.
The fruit picker suspected of murdering Lilia was reportedly rushed to the hospital last week after being brutally attacked by a cellmate carrying a sledgehammer.
On Saturday night, The Sun reported that the 22-year-old had been housed at Category A Wakefield Prison, but was the victim of a violent assault.
He spent the night in the hospital before being returned to his cell the next day.
A source told the newspaper that Skebas was beaten to a pulp and cut with an improvised shank weapon, most likely a razor blade in a toothbrush.
This month, Deividas Skebas, 22, is photographed leaving Lincoln Crown Court, where he was remanded into custody.
Lilia Valutyte was found stabbed outside her mother’s needlework shop in Boston, Lincolnshire, where she and her five-year-old sister had been playing.
‘People have been conspiring against him for some time, and on Sunday they had their chance, sneaking into his cell to ambush him.
Guards found him and responded swiftly; he was transported to the hospital by air ambulance. Since his arrival, Skebas has been a prime target, and this attack was only a matter of time.
After returning to prison, Skebas remained under continual surveillance.
A Prison Service representative stated, ‘A prisoner at HMP Wakefield was hospitalized after being assaulted by another inmate.
We cannot comment further until police do their investigation.
The death of the nine-year-old girl has left Boston residents in “deep shock.”
On September 19, Skebas is scheduled to appear in court for a plea and trial preparation hearing, at which time a provisional trial date will be set.
The death of Lilia has sparked an outpouring of sadness in a city noted for its significant Eastern European population.
A family acquaintance praised nine-year-old Lilia as “an angel” and “one of the most beautiful beings,” adding, “No one will understand her mother’s agony.” The girl was a beacon of sunshine, just like her parents, who were the primary contributors to our school and community events. The agony is indescribable. We are devastated by these tragic developments! Rest in peace, angel child.
His family still resides in the industrial city of Utena in northeastern Lithuania, where Skebas was born. On the weekend, forensic officials conducted a search of a property overlooking Boston’s Central Park.
Chief Superintendent Martyn Parker referred to the murder of Lilia as “heartbreaking” and stated that the case “touched many individuals in Boston and beyond.”
Ms. Savicke stated that a memorial for her daughter is a means to maintain her presence in the neighborhood where she grew up.
The grieving mother informed detectives, ‘Lilia grew up in that street, spending every week there playing, and the incident occurred next to the window.
The memorial is a method for her to continue to exist, and we are now seeking funds for it.
On July 28, nine-year-old Lilia Valutyte (pictured) was brutally stabbed to death in front of her five-year-old sister on Fountain lane in Boston, Lincolnshire, a murder that stunned the nation.
Lilia (shown with her three-year-old sister Liepa) died of a single stab wound and was recognized by her stepfather at an inquest.
She continued, ‘It’s difficult to know what to say. She was a typical child: one day she’s happy, the next day she’s not; one day she likes pancakes, the next day she doesn’t; and so on.
She enjoyed dancing, traveling, trying new things, and irritating her sister. She desired a trip to Italy, so we will likely still go there next year.
Lilia was born at Boston Pilgrim Hospital and attended Fydell Crescent’s Boston Pioneers Academy.
Her stepfather, Mr. Savickas, adding, “She was sassy; in some aspects she was quiet, but in others she wasn’t.” She always attempted to be amusing.
Either an angel with Lilia’s face will be included in the statue’s design, or her entire likeness will be used.
Through Just Giving, a close family friend has organized a fundraising effort. Funeral arrangements have not yet been arranged.
Ms. Savicke stated, “There are so many things we could say, but we are not going to talk much about who she was and share those home tales; they are ours and we want to keep them to ourselves.
You find yourself searching everywhere for her. One of our four corners has vanished.
