The brother of tragic Jimmy Prout said an emotional goodbye to his murdered sibling as he scattered his ashes seven years after his death.
Jimmy, who had learning difficulties, was subjected to a campaign of horrific violence at the hands of killers Zahid Zaman and Ann Corbett, before he was eventually killed, in 2016.
His murder, at the home they all shared, in Percy Main, near North Shields, remains one of the region's most shocking crimes of recent years, and left vulnerable Jimmy's loved ones asking why he wasn't protected from his evil killers.
