Reading a statement in court earlier, Leo’s mother, Rachel Fisher, said her son was the most kind, funny and caring little boy.
“It should never have happened. Leo’s life should be just beginning,” she said, wiping tears from her face.
“I’ve lost everything I did have and would have with him, my first-born child.”
Christopher Ross, Leo’s father, spoke directly to the defendant when he gave his statement and told him: “Look up man… you killed my son.”
“Leo was loved by everyone. Everyone said how special he was. He was the kindest little boy you could ever hope to meet,” he said.
He described his life since Leo’s death as a “living hell”, adding: “Leo, I will always miss you and I will get justice for you.”
Amy Weston, a member of Leo’s foster family, also addressed the defendant and said: “Leo was a small defenceless child, as vulnerable as they come. It was sickening.
“What you did was wicked, senseless and unforgivable.”
