“I had the baby but we were due to go out that night.
“Jamie was getting calls and being threatened and I was terrified someone was going to come to the house.
“Hi s mum ca l led to say something was going on and I rushed out of the house.
“The first thing I saw was Jamie being resuscitated.
“My dad said it might not be him but I just knew.
“I remember trying to get to him and that’s the image that always comes back to me – Jamie lying there and that feeling of just knowing it was him.”
Jamie’s mum Ann Frances, 44, cradled her son as the family waited for paramedics to arrive.
She said: “He had three weeks with his boy and never in my wildest dreams would I have thought he would be taken like this.
“It was chaos when I got to Jamie. There were all these people with masks on and it was so surreal.
“Everyone scattered when they heard a gun had been fired.
“I had Jamie and he was trying to get his clothes off and he was saying he was too hot.
“I said, ‘ Focus on my face and keep talking to me.’ They had to resuscitate him on the hill.”

They f inally accepted that his life support machine had to be turned off.
