A YOUNG mum has condemned a heartless thief who robbed the grave of her baby son.

Two-year-old Aston Payne died in March after being struck down by meningitis.

The tragedy was reported in the Citizen.

Mum Cheryl Cornish, 22, said his grieving family had transformed his resting place in Bletchley's Whalley Drive burial ground into the "best grave in the cemetery."

It is bright with flowers, toys and windmills.

Now one of four solar lights that stood at each corner has been stolen.
"It is disgusting and totally sick that someone could do such a thing," said Cheryl, of Burnmoor Close, on the Lakes estate.

"I am still in shock."The person who did it would have had to leave the footpath and go to the graveside to take it."

The family – who visit Aston's grave every weekend – were planning to
replace the light.

Police have been told about the theft.But Cheryl said friends in the area had promised to keep watch to ensure nothing else was taken.

"One of them only works just across the road from the cemetery and is going to pop in during her lunch break. Another is going to check after work.

"They knew Aston and they knew what a little charmer and how lovely he was," she said.
