A thief has admitted stealing a grieving father’s laptop while he was at the funeral of his six-year-old son.
The laptop, which belonged to Norris Martin, was stolen from the Pentecostal City Church in Scrubbs Lane, Willesden, on November 2 after it had been used to show a slideshow of photographs to mourners.
The pictures of TJ Martin, six, who had been born with a rare disorder called Candle syndrome, were on the computer and were not stored anywhere else, his family said.
They left the church at 1pm to go to Kensal Rise for the burial ceremony - but upon their return to the church they discovered the laptop had been stolen.
Franklyn Mathurin, 47, of no fixed address, was arrested on November 28 and pleaded guilty to burglary at Harrow Crown Court on Monday.
He was remanded in custody and will be sentenced at the same court on January 12, 2016.
The HP laptop, which had the serial number 8CG42003G6, has still not been recovered.
Pat Martin, TJ’s mother, said at the time of the theft: “It’s as important as life itself that we get the laptop back.
“Unfortunately, TJ’s life is no longer, he’s been taken from us, and that laptop has all of our memories of him, short of what we hold in our hearts.”
l A woman was left with life-changing injuries after a bogus delivery man slashed her across the face on her doorstep.
Horrifying CCTV footage of the incident on December 23 last year shows a man getting out of a dark coloured vehicle in Romford before walking to a nearby house.
Clutching a large box, the man approaches the front door before ringing the doorbell and keeping one hand beneath the package.
The young female victim answered her front door to who appeared to be a delivery man before she was lunged at and slashed across the face multiple times.
