Daniel Grainger was just five when his mother was murdered and he can remember very little about her.
But 11 years later his determination to find her killers has led to two arrests in connection with the unsolved crime.
A website he set up two months ago, whokilledmymum.com, is understood to have played a part in the development.
[...]
Daniel can still vividly recall the day he was told the devastating news of his mother's death.
'I remember crying, seeing the police everywhere on the street, and seeing her photo in the paper,' he said.
'I don't know what kind of life I would have had with her. I was robbed of the chance of finding out and really getting to know her.'
The 16-year-old said that although his mother, who was single, had a low mental age she was a 'lovely woman who would not hurt a fly'.
He visits his mother's grave regularly but has only one photograph of himself with her.
