'On the day of my son's funeral the gang who made his life hell stood there waving'

'HE DIES EVERY MORNING'... MUM OF TEEN WHO WAS STABBED TO DEATH ON PAIN OF LOSING HIM

- By JAMIE GREER

A GRIEVING mum says many don’t realise the pain she is still going through after her son’s death seven years ago.

Mandy Jamieson, 55, from Woolton, is the mum of Daniel Gee-Jamieson, who died after he was stabbed at a park just off Belle Vale Road in Gateacre in July 2018.

Daniel was just 16 when he bled to death following a prearranged “straightener”.

The teenager was unarmed but was stabbed in the leg in front of dozens of onlookers.

Owen Cousins was later found guilty of manslaughter.

Cousins claimed he was forced to fight Danny and stabbed him in self-defence when he attacked him with a knife.

None of the five teenage witnesses to the fight on The Nook said they saw Daniel with a weapon.

Mandy spoke to the ECHO ahead of a yearly event at St George's Hall on Friday to remember victims of serious violence.

The heartbroken mum, who later set up the charity Danny's Place, said the aftermath of what happened to Daniel never goes away.

Mandy said: “Daniel was funny. He has a really good sense of humour. Don't get me wrong, Daniel wasn’t an angel.

“But he wasn’t a bad kid. He had ADHD, Asperger’s and he was profoundly deaf in his left ear.

“He still didn’t deserve to die and I just don’t want another mother to have to go through what we go through on a daily basis.
