The mother of a three-year-old boy who tragically died after being run over by a tractor has spoken out following the acquittal of her ex-partner, who was cleared of his death. Albie Speakman was fatally injured on July 16, 2022, when his father, Neil Speakman, reversed a telehandler into him in Bury.

Albie’s devastated mother, Leah Bridge, was present in court when the verdict was delivered and appeared visibly upset. She described her heartbreak on social media, writing: “My perfect little sunshine boy, I am so unbelievably sorry. I just can’t comprehend what has happened. I will forever remain broken. I will forever remain without you. The world is a very unjust place to live, and I feel numb.”
