TODAY should be Stanley Metcalf’s last day at primary school.
Like every parent, his mum Jenny Dees should be shedding a few tears at the school gates as her son waves goodbye to his classmates in preparation for big school.
Instead Stanley’s twin sister Elsie, 11, will start secondary school alone, after her brother was shot dead by his own great-grandfather – Jenny’s grandad – at a family gathering.
Albert Gannon, now 82, was jailed for three years for manslaughter after modifying the air rifle that shot Stanley. He was set free after just 18 months.
Gannon has never apologised to Jenny or her partner, Stanley’s dad Andy Metcalf.
