‘We have recovered two motorbikes and they will now be forensically examined as part of those extensive inquiries.

‘And at this awful time our thoughts remain with the family of Katniss, who are being supported and have asked to be left to grieve in private.

‘I would also like to extend my thanks to all those people who have already come to us with information, it is truly appreciated.

‘We would ask again that anyone who was at the scene does still come forward, as what they know may be valuable to our ongoing investigation.’

She suffered critical injuries and was rushed to Birmingham Children’s Hospital but could not be saved.

Her mother, Tsvetelina, shared an emotional tribute following her the tragedy.

She wrote on Facebook: ‘God took her away too young and fragile.

‘I don’t have strength and I don’t want to say goodbye to you, my star. How to let you go, my heart is bleeding, my soul is aching. Who will take care of you now up there my angel.

‘Every day she told me, “I love you mum, you are the best mother and the most beautiful because you take care of me and do everything to make me happy”.

‘You became a star in the sky. [You] cried that one day mum would be a star in heaven and you would be left without me. 

‘You were so strong, healthy and smiling, always in the three races. Why couldn’t you fight for your life. Your dad was calling you, “open your eyes Katnis, dad is here, open them” but you closed them forever.

‘Rest in peace sweet treasure! May your path be bright so you are not afraid in the dark without mum and dad!’
