The holiday season has been marred by a series of tragic incidents across the UK and the US. In the UK, a 10-year-old girl died in a car crash on Boxing Day, with her family remembering her as a 'lovable young girl.' A 22-year-old woman, Grace Vater, lost her life in a quad bike accident on Christmas Day, and two men have been arrested in connection with the incident. Tributes have poured in for her as a 'country girl with the biggest heart' and a 'caring, beautiful, full of life' individual. In separate events, several stabbings have led to fatalities and arrests. Reece Connor and Kacey Clarke were victims of fatal stabbings on Christmas Day, with individuals charged for their murders. A teenager has been charged with the murder of a 22-year-old woman, and a 16-year-old boy is appearing in court after a Christmas Eve stabbing. A four-year-old boy was allegedly stabbed to death by his own mother, and a teenager has become the fifth person arrested in connection with a Nottingham Christmas Day murder. A Cardiff man is in court charged with a Christmas Eve murder, and detectives are investigating a murder in Hackney on Boxing Day. A 'good Samaritan' father-of-two, Chris Marriott, was killed in a car ram after stopping to help a stranger, leaving his family and community devastated. A young rugby player died on Christmas Eve from a 'devastating head injury.' Team GB footballer Gemma Wiseman was found dead in woodlands days before Christmas, with her family expressing their devastation. In the US, a man was shot and killed during a carjacking in Cicero, while in Las Vegas, a father of seven was killed by a carjacker who had just murdered his own mother. Police are actively seeking suspects and have made several arrests in connection with these incidents, including the search for the rider of a quad bike involved in a fatal Boxing Day crash.
