Mother 'devastated' as tribute to son is stolen

A mother from East Sussex says she is "devastated" that a tribute statue to her late son has been stolen.

Marilyn Bennett, from Seaford, said on Thursday morning she noticed the metal swan statue in her garden was no longer there.

The statue had been placed on a stand in the garden in memory of her son Gavin Woodhead, who died in 2023 aged 42.

She said: "It was a terrible shock. In fact, I just laid in bed and thought how? What happened? How did they do it":[]}
