Heart-breaking tributes have been paid to tragic Rikki Neave, whose killer was finally convicted this week after a three-decade fight for justice.
Rikki was just six years old when he was strangled by 13-year-old James Watson, now 41 - the second person to stand trial for his murder after Rikki’s mother Ruth was cleared by a jury in 1996.
A teaching assistant at Rikki and Watson’s old primary school described little Rikki as a “darling”, saying the case has brought back bad memories.
