Kane’s Story

Kane was born in Consett on the 05/06/90. He entered this world weighing 4lb 6oz. He was a beautiful baby & was loved by all. When he was growing up he was always thin, this used to worry me but it was just the way he was.

Kane has two older brothers Joel & Nick; he also has a younger brother Matthew & a little sister Lynnette.

Kane did not have an easy life. He worried about his little brother as he has a severe heart condition. He worried about anyone when they were ill or sad.

He had to work hard at things & was bullied when he was young.

Kane cared for people; he would make things for them & spend his money on others. He would buy things for no reason other than to give or make some-one happy.

Kane loved Japanese cartoon art & was always drawing or painting. He was great at drawing pictures of people. He loved to create things & would make things out of wood or anything else he could find.

He would try to do anything I asked him whether it was fixing a light or plumbing a shower. Although not everything he "fixed" worked again. He once spent hours fixing the kitchen heater & it has never worked since. Another time he replaced all the door handles for me & one is at 45 degrees. He would always try though.

Kane could be very clumsy but it could be so funny. When he was young he was determined to climb this tree & fell out of the same tree four times but he did it in the end. He once fell down the stairs & got up & ran into the wall. I have many memories like this & cherish every one of them.

Kane left this Earth on the 07/03/07. The day before his death he was upset about an email he had from his ex girlfriend but we talked & he was fine. The day of his death he was going to see about an apprenticeship he had applied for. He had no money left so I gave him a few pounds & my last words to him were " I'm not that bad am I?", he smiled his cheeky smile & replied " I’ve got my keys". He left the house at lunch time. I had to go out & passed him 2 minutes from his destination, which was the last time I saw my baby alive. When I returned home I had a bad feeling so I tried to phone him, there was no answer so I kept trying. After a while I went looking for him & at 10pm I phoned the police.

Two officers came to the house & after a while told me they had found the body of a young lad at the bottom of the Gill Bridge. I was devastated & still am. They would not let me see him until 2pm the next day. I had to identify his body, his brother Nick was with me. I went in to shock & never questioned things so when they said he had jumped I did not ask why.

At his funeral some-one told me Kane did not jump or fall. I was in a state & did not take it in. Later those words came back & I started to question things.

Kane was found at the bottom of a 180ft bridge, he had no broken bones, and he had two marks on his forehead, a bruised nose, a black eye, two bust lips & a bruised right ear. I was told he was found in a shopping trolley. I do not believe he killed himself & never will.

Kane was found at 5pm on a bright day and had been there a couple of hours.

How come no-one saw him?

I phoned the police & two CID officers came. I was asked if I was sure I heard right? & if I could find the name of the person that told me. That is the only contact I have had from them.

There were a lot of people at Kane's funeral & I did not know them all. Kane had no reason to jump, he was starting the apprenticeship & wanted to start his own business, he had updated his bebo the night before & the things he wrote were not the things some-one that was suicidal would write.

He was also trying to trace his dad & had talked about how much he wanted children when he was older.

I know my son was murdered & one day I will prove it & his killer will be brought to justice. Kane would never hurt anyone, he loved people too much.
