A provisional trial date to be heard before a High Court judge is set for November. 

The 13-year-old first appeared in court on Wednesday, March 12. The BBC reported at the time that she was clutching a teddy bear during the hearing.

PEOPLE previously reported that authorities arrived at a Wellingborough home in the early morning hours of March 10 after receiving a report about a house fire.

After having gaining access to the property, police found the body of Bednarczyk.

They then arrested the child on March 12, after a forensic post-mortem investigation allegedly “gave the preliminary cause of [the victim’s] death as being as a result of sharp force injury,” police said in their news release.

In a statement released by police, family and friends of Bednarczyk paid tribute.

“Marta was the matriarch of our family. She was a very caring woman, a loving mother, and a supportive friend who could never do enough for those she loved,” they said.

They added that she immigrated to the United Kingdom from Poland back in 2012 and worked in a warehouse “in order to bring money home for her family.”

In addition to her three children, she leaves behind her long-term partner, Eugene, with whom she was engaged.

“She was so loved by all of us and the tragic circumstances in which she died will haunt us forever. We don’t think we will ever come to terms with it,” the statement continued.

“We are heartbroken at the thought of never seeing our lovely Marta again. She will be missed beyond words, and she will never be forgotten.”
