Libby Squires’ mum posts heartbreaking apology

Libby Squires, the 21-year-old student whose body was pulled from an estuary in East Yorkshire on Wednesday, has been paid tribute by her mother in a heartbreaking Facebook post.

"My baby girl is gone. Gone forever. No more birthdays with us,” the post reads.

"No more Christmas days with us. No more family time all together.”

Libby's family have spent an agonising seven weeks waiting for news when the student vanished after a night on the town with her friends.

The chilling news arrived yesterday that police were treating her death as a possible homicide, but a cause of death has not been released.

“No family should have to endure that. No sisters should have that special girl they have known for all their time on this earth taken from her,” Libby’s mum wrote on social media.

"No 11-year-old brother should have his idol taken from him. No dad should have his first born little girl, his princess, taken from him. No grandparent should lose their first born grandchild child. No aunt and uncle lose their first born niece. No mother should have to watch her family go through all of that.”

Polish butcher Pawel Relowicz, 24, was arrested and quizzed over Libby's disappearance and remains under investigation.

Unrelated to Libby, he has since been charged with five counts of burglary, three counts of voyeurism, three counts of outraging public decency and one of receiving stolen goods.

He appeared at Hull Crown Court on Monday to deny the charges and will stand trial on July 22.

No other arrests have been made.

For now, all that remains is a family left devastated in the wake of a young girl’s death, and so many questions still to be answered.
