The grief-stricken parents of a 17-year-old schoolboy stabbed to death at an end-of-term party still send him messages on WhatsApp every day.

Charlie 'Cheeks' Cosser was stabbed multiple times in July at a party in the grounds of a £1.5 million country mansion farmhouse in the village of Warnham, West Sussex.

The talented footballer died two days later in hospital with his alleged killer, a 17-year-old, was said to have suffered amnesia because he had drunk so much alcohol.

He cannot be named for legal reasons and is due to go on trial on May 13, 2024.
