Mother of stabbing victim Angus Beaumont speaks after his death

The mum of a Redcliffe teenager who died after being stabbed on the street last week has spoken about his death and started a petition in relation to the way her son’s alleged killers are dealt with.

THE mother of a Redcliffe teenager who was killed last week wants her son's alleged killers tried as adults.
Angus Beaumont, 15, was walking home from McDonald's last Friday night when he and his friends were allegedly attacked by three boys.

Angus suffered fatal stab wounds and two 14-year-old boys were charged with murder as a result and police are still searching for the third.

Angus's mother Michelle Liddle has since taken to social media to express her grief and has started a petition for change.

“The aim of this petition is to get these offenders tried as adults,” Ms Liddle wrote.

”The other aim is to have all 14 years old and over receive harsher sentences (if found guilty). There are too many kids walking around on our streets on bail after committing crimes. They don't learn and continue doing the same thing until they hurt someone.

“Enough is enough! These laws HAVE to be changed. ... the government isn't putting a stop to it! We need to band together and make a difference.”

In another emotional post on Facebook, Ms Liddle said she “still can't fully believe” her “gentle giant” son was gone.

“I will never see my son’s face again, hear his voice and I still can't fully believe that this is real!" she wrote.

“As a mother I keep waiting for him to come home. Please help us stop this happening to someone else! Sign and share the hell out of this!”
