A MUM has spoken of her grief after her daughter was “murdered” in a horrific lorry smash where another man died.
Little Oria Henry was travelling in a blue Nissan Qashqai with Ashley Henry, 35, when it collided with a lorry in Anwick, Lincolnshire, on Sunday at around 2.45pm.
Both Oria and Ashley were declared dead at the scene.
Lincolnshire Police said that after “careful consideration” it was treating Oria’s death as a murder investigation.
