Teenager Adam Morrell died from head injuries and strangulation after being beaten and tortured for
at least three hours, the trial in Nottingham was told.
A pathologist said the 14-year-old suffered a total of 280 injuries.

One of the defendants told police he looked "like an alien" after being kicked like a
football.

Another said he was completely unrecognisable.

Finally, the music was turned up at the house in Loughborough to cover the sound of his body being
sawn into pieces.

Three days after the schoolboy's death, a group walking by the Grand Union Canal in the town
found a black plastic bag wrapped in silver tape, floating in the water.

Body parts

When they fished out the package, they saw what looked like fingers.

The bag was found to contain a severed arm.

Other body parts turned up around Loughborough over the next few days.

A woman found legs in another plastic bag.

A bag of clothes was discovered by police at an electricity sub-station.

The boy's head was found by police divers at the bottom of the canal.

The last Adam's family had heard from him was when he phoned his father, days before his death,
to say he was staying with friends.

Those friends were: Matthew Welsh, 19; Welsh's girlfriend Sarah Morris, 17; former soldier
Daniel Biggs, 19; and Nathan Barnett, 27.

On Wednesday, 19-year-old Matthew Welsh was convicted of murdering the schoolboy, while his
girlfriend Sarah Morris was found guilty of assaulting the youngster.

Another teenager, Daniel Biggs, 19, was cleared by the jury of murder or of any part in the assault.


Nathan Barnett pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

Boiling water

Welsh, the son of a Burton on Trent policeman, had told Leicestershire Police that they were
drinking beer and whisky, smoking cannabis and taking ecstasy at the house in Havelock Street on the
evening of 14 November, 2002.

Welsh said events took a turn for the worse when Adam threatened to tell police about their drug
use.

The court had been told that all four of them kicked and attacked Adam.

He curled up in a ball and wept as he was savagely beaten.

Welsh told police that Barnett had later scalded Adam with a combination of boiling water and sugar.


Barnett testified during the trial that Biggs helped him by putting his foot on Adam to squeeze the
life out of the youngster.

He told a jury that he had played the children's game paper, scissors, stone with Biggs to
decide who would kill Adam.

Biggs denied joining in the assault and said he had gone to a homeless persons' hostel.

He said Barnett, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, had
killed Adam on his own.

All four pleaded guilty to conspiring to pervert the course of justice.

Sarah Morris told police she joined in the attack on Adam and said he looked "like an
alien" after being kicked "like a football".

Showed remorse

Morris said Adam had started moaning after a drink-and-drugs session and was told to shut up.

He was kicked because he was "bringing us down", she said.

The three others hit and kicked Adam and urged her to do the same, so she punched him in the head,
chest and legs as well as in the face.

"The assault lasted about three hours, possibly slightly longer," Morris said.

Frances Oldham, defending Morris, said the teenage girl was the only member of the gang who had ever
shown any remorse for what had happened.

My Dear Family xx
It's me again from Heaven
With a message from above
Feel my spirit all around you
As I sprinkle you with love...

***********

I have watched you, as your tears flow
I have heard your silent screams
I know you sleep with visions
Of me visiting your dreams...

***********

I have come and sat beside you
Placed my hands upon your face
Wiped away the many teardrops
I so wish I could erase...

***********

I have watched you every day now
Seen such pain within your eyes
I just wish that there were some way
I could help you realise...

***********

I am happy up in Heaven
In this peaceful loving place
Where I will be here waiting
To welcome you with my embrace...

***********

You will join me here in Heaven
When your time comes you’ll see
Leave your Earthly cares behind you
Travel on to where you’re free...

**********

I have heard you ask to go now
But there is more for you to do
I promise I'll be waiting
When your time on earth is through ...

R.I.P Adam xxxx

If i could turn back time,
id go to that very day,
the day those nasty people,
vilently took you away.

If i could turn back time,
id take the beatings and hurt they corsed,
make them hurt too,
make all show remorse.

If i could turn back time,
id lay by your side,
protect you from halm,
help you run help you cry help you hide.

If i could turn back time,
id take your place and die instead,
let you have those precious years,
the one's what were ahead.

But i can't turn back time,
can't wind back the clock,
can't pause, or play life,
can't even make it stop,
and adam if i could,
id do it just for you,
to take the pain from every heart,
and even mine tooh xxxx

may you rest in peace hunni xxxx love from me,jamie, lloyd and family xxx

I WROTE YOUR NAME IN THE SKY
BUT THE WIND BLEW IT AWAY

I WORTE YOUR NAME IN THE SAND
BUT THE WAVES WASHED IT AWAY

I WROTE YOUR NAME IN MY HEART
AND FOREVER IT WILL STAY.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

♥ღ♥ My eyes have seen the yellow sand,
my ears have heard their cries.
And I have watched a million hands
reach out to wave good-bye.
I've said good-bye so many times.
I've walked the earth alone,
and I have lived a million lives
just searching for my home.

I'll climb the highest mountain peaks,
I'll ford the deepest streams.
I'll touch you with my memories
and hold you with my dreams.
For love's the greatest miracle
our eyes will ever see.
I'm still alive! I will survive ♥ღ♥ xxx

They say there are no tears in Heaven,
But that must be wrong today.
Because you took part of my broken heart,
When you went away.
I know my tears must have followed you,
How else can it be?
My Spirit feels so broken,
Beause you’re no longer here with me.
They say someday I will accept your passing,
But, right now that can’t be true,
Because part of me is in Heaven,
My tears..... followed you....
