Mum breaks down after winning pageant for murdered godson

A woman "broke down" after winning a pageant in memory of her murdered godson.

Trena Lee, 44, who grew up in Toxteth, was a godparent to 26-year-old Dre Estridge, who was stabbed in the heart at his own home in Dingle. Trene Colecozy-Rogers, a friend of Dre was jailed for life, with a minimum sentence of 13 years, 201 days.

Since the day her godson died, Trena, who now lives in Knowsley, was looking for a way to make sure Dre was remembered and is on a mission to encourage people not to take knives out with them or to use them. When her modelling and talent agency, StarNow told her about the Beauty and Brains Pageant, she knew she wanted to enter in memory of the 26-year-old.
