A 15-year-old girl has been charged with murder after seven-year-old Katie died in York on Monday
Tragic Katie Rough was a bridesmaid at her parents' wedding just two weeks before her death.
The seven-year-old stole the show in a pretty silver sequined dress as she proudly stood with mum Alison and dad Paul.
Just a fortnight later, Katie died after her throat was slashed in playing fields.
Desperate mum Alison raced to the scene crying: “No, no, it’s my little girl.”
She is also charged with the possession of an offensive weapon, North Yorkshire Police said.
The girl will appear at York Magistrates Court on Wednesday morning.

Girl found in York with serious injuries dies
Katie was stabbed on Monday afternoon an hour after school finished.
The little girl’s mum was alerted to the horror and raced to the scene in a car. But after seeing her wounded child, she dropped to her knees sobbing: “No, no, it’s my little girl. Help get an ambulance.”
Katie died after the attack which took place around 4.30pm.
Her dad Paul Rough arrived at the fields in the affluent Woodthorpe area of York, North Yorks, shortly after his wife, Alison, 38.
The attack took place just over half a mile from the Rough’s home in Foxwood, York.
As medics worked on their daughter, the distraught mum paced back and forwards from the field where her daughter lay stricken in the mud while the dad stood slumped against a wall in despair.
The couple, who married two weeks ago, comforted each other as she was stretchered away with an oxygen mask on.
