Rebekah was taken to the hospital,where she later died from her injuries. 

Since her death,her family have paid tribute to the ‘happy young woman’,who was described as kind and caring.

‘Rebekah was our everything. She was a happy young woman with her whole life ahead of her and had a genuine heart of gold. If it meant putting herself out to help someone,she wouldn’t hesitate,’ they said.

‘We are so proud of her. She was a support for vulnerable people and would use her own experiences to make other lives better.’

‘We are so grateful for all the messages of condolences,and we didn’t realise how many people’s lives Rebekah had touched,which just reiterates to us how special she was.

‘As a family,we would appreciate privacy at this time,’ they added.

A 34-year-old man from Litherland was arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody for questioning while investigations are carried out.
