Heartless thieves broke into a young mum’s house the day after she died and robbed everything she owned – leaving her children with nothing.
Kim Lomas’s devastated children now have just a few photos to remember her by.
Kim’s distraught mum Grace, 58, said: “They must have known Kim had died and her house was empty.
“Whoever did this can only be described as dirty, underhand, lousy, thieving scumbags.”
Police are investigating the cause of Kim’s death after she passed away at her East Kilbride home last month.
Her children Sean, 11, and nine-year-old twins Shannon and Tammy have lived with their gran Grace for the last few years.
Grace added: “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.
“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.”
