Police Investigate Hate Messages on Raheem Sterling's Daughter

Twitter trolls who posted abusive messages directed at the daughter of England footballer Raheem Sterling are being investigated by police. Officers are analysing the posts, sent after it was reported the Liverpool player was on the verge of a £49m transfer to Manchester City.

One user told Sterling to hug his daughter before appearing to make threats against her.
A Merseyside Police spokesman said the language used was "abhorrent".
