His mother Trish said she is hurt that people are talking badly about her son. He has been described as a serial driving offender and drug user in reports following the Boxing Day tragedy.

"He was very private and didn't like people talking about him but the worst part is, he has grandkids that can read, that are listening to it," she said.
