Lyn Rigby, the mum of murdered soldier Lee Rigby says that she is still haunted by visions of his death, a year after the incident. The 47-year-old mum told The Sun: "No parent should ever have to bury a child but the nature of Lee's death was so violent that I can barely sleep at night, haunted by the images of my child lying bloodied and fatally wounded on the street.

 

"If I close my eyes I see Lee covered in blood and when I do fall asleep I have nightmares in which I am running to try and save my son.

 

“I wake up in cold sweats with my heart thumping and I feel like I am going to die.

 

"The grief is so intense it makes my body hurt physically.

 

"I have sat up so many nights begging for someone to take the suffering away but it is always there.

 

"I don't think I will ever get over my Lee's murder.

 

"He was my flesh and blood and I loved and nurtured him for the 25 years he was alive.

 

"That love will never die nor will the sorrow I feel without him."

 

Rigby’s killers, Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, were sentenced to life imprisonment.
