Addict jailed for killing Wirral mother and burning body

Ellia’s mother said she adored her son

Ellia’s mother Elaina Hampson said her son Reece wanted to come to court to throw tomatoes at his mother’s killer.

In a victim impact statement she said: ‘Ellia would light up the room with her smile. She worshipped and adored her son Reece. She was an amazing mother. She loved to spend time with him and was so creative in the things they did together.

‘He has taken a mother away from a nine year old child who will never see her again. He wants to come to court so he can throw tomatoes at the person responsible.

‘He’s also asked if we can take him to the house where his mummy died. No child should have to ask those questions.

‘He has taken a sister away, a niece, an aunty, a granddaughter. So many people’s lives have changed in a horrific way. I don’t know how I or we start to live with this.

‘I don’t believe the sentence he will get will ever help us because he is still here and she is not.

‘We have changed. He has ruined our family. He has caused us pain and heartache. I hope one day he has some sort of remorse.’
