Murdered Rikki Neave's sister breaks down at 'never-ending nightmare' of losing her 'other half' as killer faces jail

Addressing Watson, she added: "After all these years of living your life, you finally get your comeuppance and Rikki Lee Harvey finally gets justice."

Ruth also described her "little hero", adding: "Rikki was my only son, my beautiful son with deep blue eyes. I fell in love with him the moment he was born." Jurors heard how he had been seen with the youngster on the day he vanished and was spoken to by police at the time.It was only when his DNA showed on Rikki's clothes that he was charged with murder more than 20 years later.Rikki's body was discovered the next day by a police officer in woodland near the housing estate in Peterborough where he lived.

"It had been deliberately posed by the killer, in a star shape, with outstretched arms, and his legs placed wide apart. Ruth was wrongly accused because police found a picture of Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man that resembled the position her son's body was found in.The case was opened again in 2015 and tests on adhesive tape from Rikki's clothes showed a DNA match with Watson.
