A woman has died following a “serious assault” that closed Bescot Stadium Railway Station in Walsall earlier this week.

27-year-old Rhiannon Skye Whyte was rushed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham on the evening of October 20 after she was found with injuries consistent with being stabbed.

She died on Wednesday, October 23, surrounded by her family.

In a tribute released yesterday, Rhiannon’s family said they will miss their “most loved daughter, compassionate sister, loving aunty, gracious granddaughter, beautiful nice, wonderful cousin and devoted friend” forever.

They said: “The most selfless person you were brave, quirky, funny, and always there for anyone who needed it.

“There is not enough paper in the world to even begin to write a tribute for you, but no one deserves it more.

“The weird thing about this devastating loss is that we now need to navigate life without you, but how?

“If your short life will teach anything it's to cherish each moment with those you love as tomorrow is never guaranteed.

“You are so strong, a fighter and no matter what happens, we as a family will always be united for you.

“We will love and miss you for now for always and forever."

Emergency services were called to the station at 11.25pm on Sunday and a teenager has subsequently been arrested and charged with attempted murder.

Deng Cholmajek, of Bescot Crescent, Walsall, appeared at Walsall Magistrates Court on Tuesday, 22 October and was remanded in custody.

The 18-year-old will next appear at Wolverhampton Crown Court on November 19.

The British Transport Police (BTP) have said detectives will apply to amend the charges to reflect that the victim has died.

Senior Investigating Officer at the BTP, Detective Chief Inspector Paul Attwell said: “We have specialist family liaison officers supporting the victim’s family and our thoughts remain with them at this incredibly difficult time.

“I would like to reassure the public that this is an isolated incident and an 18-year-old man has now been charged and remanded in connection. We are not seeking anyone else.”

Anyone with information about the incident is being urged to contact the BTP on 0800 40505, or to text 61016, quoting 11 pf 21 October.

Alternatively, people can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
