Can I visit mummy in heaven, begs son, 4

MURDER victim Quyen Ngoc Nguyen’s four-yearold son has begged to visit her ‘in heaven’, her sister revealed yesterday.

Quynh Ngoc Nguyen, 35, broke down in tears as she told the court: ‘My sister and I believed we had come to this country for a safe life with opportunities … The lives of so many people have been affected by the violent actions of these two men. My friends and family in Vietnam can’t comprehend why they were living freely.’

Quynh said her sister’s son David – now living with his father in Birmingham – had ‘asked if I can bring him to heaven [to be] with his mother’. The victim’s daughter lives in Vietnam. Both children ‘loved her so much’, Quynh said.

The sister revealed her own two youngest children, Anna, six, and Kenny, three, ‘keep asking when their auntie will come home’. Quynh, who also has a ten-year-old daughter, Helen, added: ‘My sister did not deserve in any way to die in this horrific manner … She came to study, so she could provide a better life for her family.

‘We did not believe that evil men like this existed in this country … I am relieved that these men will now spend the rest of their lives in prison. They don’t deserve freedom.’
