A mother whose four sons were murdered 19 years ago has been left totally heartbroken after discovering the memorial that was created in their memory has been ruined by housing developers. Sam Tolley lost her four children - Joshua, seven, Thomas, six, Callum, five, and Daniel, three - in the most horrifying circumstances back in 2003.
The boys were murdered by their father Keith Young, who forced his wife to listen on the phone as he took their lives before taking his own. A memorial garden was set up in memory of the children at Handley Hill Primary School where they attended. But Sam was shocked when she turned up at her children's memorial this week to find that Linden Homes had destroyed the garden, telling CheshireLive it had been "trashed".
Sam Tolley said in a Facebook post: "My boys' memorial garden. What do I do or who do I go and see? Totally heartbroken. How can they do this and get away with it? No warning to tell me, I turn up and looks like this. I was told the garden under no circumstances would be touched, devastated isn't the word.”
