Mum devastated as 'evil' burglars steal her stillborn son's ashes

A woman has branded burglars who broke into her home and stole her stillborn son 's ashes "evil, twisted scumbags".

Chloe Robinson's flat in Connor's Quay, Flintshire, was robbed last weekend while she was staying with family.

The 22-year-old returned to the property on Saturday, November 6, to find her precious keepsake gone and the place ransacked.

And whoever is responsible also left used condoms on her sofa, the Daily Post reports.

"I can't believe what kind of sick individual would do this, it's disgusting," said Chloe, whose son Hunter was stillborn at 37 weeks.

"Seeing the damage to my flat was upsetting enough, but when I saw that my son's ashes were gone I just lost it, I was screaming and crying."

The box containing Hunter's ashes was left lying open and empty, whilst other missing items included "irreplaceable" photos of the pair of them together and balloons bought to mark the second anniversary of Hunter's death on November 25.

It's also the second time the flat's been broken into in 12 months, leaving Chloe too scared to continue living there.

"Whoever did this are evil and twisted scumbags," she said.

"A child's ashes are irreplaceable and they're all I've got to remember him by."

However, Chloe is determined this won't spoil her son's memorial and is planning a special service to honour her son later this month.

She has also set up a fundraising page to help pay tribute to Hunter and replace some of the items lost.

North Wales Police confirmed they attended a burglary at an address in Connah's Quay and enquiries are ongoing.
