The family of a boy who drowned in a river tragedy had their windows put through, just hours after his funeral. Robert Hattersley died on July 17 while swimming in the Tyne in Northumberland with friends.
The 13-year-old was pulled in by strong currents and emergency services spent around six hours searching for him. Police later told his mam Stella, 47, and dad Carl, 48, that Robert had died.
The tragedy devastated his family and the local community of Crawcrook in Gateshead. Relatives including Robert's sisters Emma, 24, Charlotte, 20, Chantelle, 19, and Victoria, 16, attended his funeral on Monday at Church of The Holy Spirit in the village.
