The parents of a 14-year-old murdered by a teenage machete thug have told how they find solace in his empty bedroom.
On Tuesday Marques Walker was sentenced to a minimum 19 years for killing Jermaine Cools. Just 16 at the time, Walker was on bail for having a zombie knife.
Jermaine’s dad Julius, 49, said the family home is now like a “cemetery” but he gets comfort from lying on his son’s bed next to a life-size picture of his smiling boy.
