“Albie was an incredibly loving, affectionate and caring boy who just wanted everyone to be happy. He was so sensitive and wanted everyone to be OK, especially the people that he loved. I will miss absolutely everything about Albie – his voice, his smile, the smell of his skin and the feel of his little hands on my face when he would say, ‘I love you, mummy girl’.
“We are broken beyond repair. I always call him my little sunshine boy because he has brought so much light into my life and he is my little ray of sunshine, and I don’t want his life to end here,” the report quoted Leah as saying.
An investigation was being conducted jointly by the police together with the Health and Safety Executive.
