The heartbroken mother of Leo Ross said her life would never be the same after her ‘baby’ was stabbed to death on his way home from school.
The 12-year-old’s birth mother Rachel Fisher and Leo’s foster family, the Westons, spoke of their devastation after his 15-year-old killer pleaded guilty to murder.
His birth mother Rachel Fisher said: “My son Leo was the sweetest, most kind-hearted boy.
“He didn’t have a bad bone in his body. My baby’s life was stolen for no reason whatsoever.

The Westons said: “Not a day goes by where we don’t think about Leo.
“His loss has impacted us deeply and his absence is felt constantly. Leo was the sweetest, kindest boy who put others before himself.
“He was loved by all that knew him, he made friends with everyone he met, young or old.
“He was wise beyond his years, full of knowledge and facts, full of life. A life cut short by a senseless act.
“We hope justice is served and we can get some closure, whatever the outcome, it still does not give Leo his life back, the life he truly deserved to live to its fullest.”

“Leo was just walking home from school when he was the victim of an entirely unprovoked attack.
“Because of this boy’s actions, Leo and his family have been robbed of the life he could have lived.
“I’d like to thank the members of the community who tried to save Leo’s life, as well as the paramedics at the scene.
“Thanks to the public, who responded to our appeals for information and provided witness accounts and images, we were able to piece together the events which led to Leo’s death.
“Our thoughts remain with Leo’s family and we hope they can gain some closure knowing justice has been done.”
