Charlotte Holland was a "precious" daughter her mother said

"As a mother I never ever expected to have to write something so tragic and heart-breaking as this - my heart is in pieces, and I know many of you who knew Charlotte loved her dearly," Ms Holland said.

"The heartache I am enduring at this awful time knows no boundaries. I still cannot and don't think I ever will accept the loss of my baby girl and best friend."
