Mum's home raided day after her death leaving three young children with nothing

Three children who recently lost their mum have been left with nothing after thieves robbed everything from their house.

Kim Lomas passed away at her home in East Kilbride, Scotland last month, which has since led to a police investigation into her death last month.

Her children Sean, 11, and nine-year-old twins Shannon and Tammy have lived with their gran Grace, 58, for the last few years.

Grace told the Daily Record : “Kim suffered from depression and life wasn’t easy for her at times. That’s why the kids live with me.

“She just lived up the street so we visited her all the time and the weans are just devastated at losing her."

A few photos are all Kim's children have to remember her by after the thieves broke in and burgled their house just a day after she died.

“They must have known Kim had died and her house was empty," a distraught Grace added.

“Whoever did this can only be described as dirty, underhand, lousy, thieving scumbags.

"Wee Sean has autism and kept a PlayStation and TV at his mum’s for when he was there.

"They’ve been stolen along with all Kim’s jewellery and even her clothes.

“When the girls turned 18 I could have said to them, ‘Here’s your mammy’s wee necklace or wee pair of earrings’. But there’s no keepsakes to give them now.

“Kim’s funeral is on Thursday and it will just be me and the kids there because of coronavirus.

“The kids will be there because they’ve been left with nothing else. They need to be able to say goodbye to their mum.”
