Jake described the siblings as being close friends.

"Me and her were very close, she was like a best friend to me that I could trust with anything and everything, but she's no longer with us any more."

"Hopefully she's in heaven, somewhere better."

The family of the teen, who police said have asked for privacy, said in a shared statement that Demi was "a beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister, cousin and niece" who was "once met, never forgotten".

"Demi loved her friends, and she was loved by all."

Detectives have appealed for the public's help, including anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage of the incident.
