In a statement to The Sunday Mail Angus’s parents Michelle and Ben Beaumont said they wanted justice for their ‘best mate’.
‘Words can’t express the feelings we have. We don’t wish this on anybody and only now have memories,’ they said.
‘Angus Richard Beaumont – We love you so much and will always cherish our time together. Love Mum and Dad.’

On Saturday teenagers gathered near where Angus was killed to pay their respects.
Detective Senior Sergeant Michael Hogan said the crime looked like an unprovoked attack.
‘It’s very difficult to understand what the motivation is. It would appear it’s unprovoked,’ Senior Sergeant Hogan said.
‘Obviously the family is devastated. They’ve lost their 15-year-old son. I think it would be a reasonable assumption that (the culprits) are known in the Redcliffe area.’
Police said the killers were probably known in the Redcliffe area.
