 A mum has issued a heartbreaking tribute after her seven-year-old daughter was tragically killed in a hit-and-run crash. Katnis Selezneva was playing outside her home in Walsall when she was struck by a motorbike at around 7pm on Thursday. She suffered critical injuries and was rushed to Birmingham Children's Hospital but could not be saved. A 14-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and remains in custody. Eyewitnesses said little Katnis had been playing on a scooter just yards from her house when the horrific incident happened in Turnstone Road. Her father reportedly begged his daughter to 'open her eyes' as neighbours ran to perform CPR on the child. The youngster's mother, Tsvetelina, has shared an emotional tribute following her death. Katnis Selezneva, 7, tragically died after she was hit by a motorbike near her home in Walsall (Picture: Selezneva family) 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!' Floral tributes have been laid at the scene in Turnstone Road (Picture: PA) One tribute says 'rest in peace beautiful gi){kind=link}
