Yasin sat hunched over in the dock with his hands covering his face as Nicola Welsby's words were read aloud. The nursery manager said: "Jordan was a loving son, brother, cousin, nephew and friend.

"A knock on my door at 1am took him away from me. This knock on the door has changed my life forever. Life has not been the same since. We were rushed to hospital and told that my boy had every injury imaginable.

"As hard as they tried, there was no fixing him. We spent five days living in hope more than expectation. As he slipped away, I felt an overwhelming sense of numbness. You should never have to bury your own child, but that's how it was for me.

"Jordan has missed Christmases, birthdays and my wedding. Jordan was supposed to walk me down the aisle, but he couldn't. It's fair to say that the day wasn't the same without him.

"There are reminders of my son everywhere, from board games to rugby
