A woman working at a hotel housing asylum seekers has been reportedly stabbed to death by a teenager who was living there.
Rhiannon Skye Whyte, 27, was stabbed in the neck with a screwdriver at a railway station after leaving work.
She remained on a life support machine in hospital with her family by her side and died three days later.
Last night, her family paid tribute, calling her a “selfless person” who was “always there for anyone who needed it”.
An 18-year-old suspect was arrested shortly after the attack on Rhiannon late on Sunday night. It is understood a petty row over a packet of biscuits is said to have taken place at the hotel earlier.
The teenager arrived in the UK in July after crossing the Channel in a small boat. He had no documents and applied for asylum.
He was housed at the Park Inn by Radisson Hotel, close to Walsall FC’s stadium in Bescot, West Mids, where Rhiannon worked.
Residents have all now been moved out of the hotel.
