Enduring agony of girl with horrific wounds
CAMERON Logan’s devastated girlfriend said her future had been stolen by the attack that killed her ‘best friend’.
The horrific injuries suffered by radio journalist Rebecca Williams, 25, mean she now has trouble speaking.
She spent almost three weeks in hospital after the fire which damaged her vocal cords and will need further surgery. She is still in pain and does not know if she will be able to return to work in her ‘dream job’ as a broadcast journalist.
Yesterday she stood by her father Philip outside court while he read a statement on her behalf.
In it she said: ‘I find it almost impossible to put into words the devastating impact this cowardly act has had upon me and my family.
‘Cameron was my best friend and partner. He was a caring, respectful and loving man, who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
‘He had great ambitions to join the police force and was working hard towards building our future together. A future that has now been stolen from us.’
She added: ‘I can only imagine the pain and suffering he will have experienced in his final moments. I wish more than anything that I could have saved him. I am still struggling with physical and psychological trauma as a result of the fire. In many ways, I will never recover and it will be years before I can get back to some form of normality.
‘It is still unknown whether I will be able to return to the job I love. I am very grateful for the care and support from all my colleagues and friends at Global Radio.’
Describing Blair Logan, who admitted attempting to murder her, as ‘evil’, Miss Williams said his actions could never be undone.
She added: ‘The length of the sentence imposed today was never going to be enough for such a barbaric and ruthless murder. Nothing will bring back my beloved Cameron.’
