A 12-year-old girl has died after suffering "catastrophic injuries" during an argument in a city centre.

Ava White was with friends in Liverpool when she was assaulted at 20:40 GMT on Thursday.

Merseyside Police previously said she had been stabbed but later said a post-mortem examination would be carried out to establish the cause of death.

Four teenage boys, aged between 13 and 15 and from Toxteth, have been arrested on suspicion of her murder.

Dreadful. What's with all these kids carrying knives?

I think there are two problems here, and imo they both affect adults as well as kids (of course I have the parking dispute murder in Taunton fresh in my mind as I say this). One is that increasingly people are leaving the house carrying weapons of one sort or another. The other is that increasingly people seem unable to exercise enough impulse control to stop verbal arguments becoming physical assaults. In a way, I'm less surprised about the kids than the adults - how are they to have the maturity to behave differently when in all likelihood their older siblings, parents or parents' friends are their role models.

I think we really need to look at some of the social problems that are feeding into this phenomenon, which imho are more to do with feelings of powerlessness, hopelessness and low social status than about the knives themselves. Pretty much everyone has sharp kitchen knives at their disposal; the problem is what leads people to think their status or power over others will be enhanced by carrying them, making threats with them and ultimately using them on each other.

This is awful though. A bunch of kids in the city centre to watch the Christmas lights going on and a 12yo girl ends up in the mortuary instead - plus four more young lives down the toilet. What a waste.

Ava White death: Boy, 14, denies murdering schoolgirl

Merseyside Police said a 16-year-old was released on bail, a 14-year-old was released under investigation and no further action was taken against a 13-year-old.

Will the 14- and 16-year-old boys be testifying in each other's trials? The 13-year-old? I wonder how many versions of what happened have been told.

Ava White: Girl, 12, murdered after Snapchat row, jury told

Ava White was stabbed after a disagreement with teenagers over video they had taken, a trial hears.
www.bbc.co.uk

Ava and a friend approached the boys and asked them to stop filming and delete the footage, before being joined by more of her friends, including two older boys.
The jury was told the older boys left but the defendant and his friends then "jeered" at Ava, causing her to run towards them.
A 20-second clip showing the stabbing in School Lane was played to the court, which showed Ava approach the defendant.

Ms Newell said Ava had approached the defendant but did not "inflict any violence upon him greater than a push, nor did she produce or have any weapon".
She said the boy's reaction was not to turn and run or to slap or punch her.
Ms Newell told the court: "Instead it was to thrust a knife into the neck of this unarmed child with what the pathologist was to determine was moderate force, the force of a firm punch."
She said the defendant now claimed he was acting in self-defence, fearing he would be assaulted or stabbed.
