Last Thursday, 14-year-old Andrea Francis collected her Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) results, securing a place at the Cunupia Secondary School - her first choice.

Andrea was celebrated by her father, Andy Francis, who had been caring for her and her older sister since their mother died in October.

On Saturday morning, Andrea was found dead in her bedroom.
