“A piece of us has died with him. I wish I could hug you just one more time.

“Until we meet again John rest in peace. Love Mum and Dad.”

Friends said Mr Boyd was born in Liverpool but lived in Wallasey most of his life.

On a floral tribute outside his home his sister Julie left a message which read: “I miss you so much. Don’t you worry now baby it’s all ok.

“Everyone is devastated beyond belief but you sleep peacefully my lovely kind bro.”

Another referred to Uncle Boydy and said: “Missing you lots. Thanks for everything you have done for me.”

Mr Boyd was described by family and friends as “kind” and a “one in a million”.

Another friend said he was “one of the nicest people” she knew.

Mum speaks of her grief after stabbing of her son John Boyd in Seacombe, Wirral




A HEARTBROKEN mum has spoken of her grief after she had to identify the body of her son, who was stabbed to death near his own doorstep.
John Boyd, 38, died on Friday after the attack in Birkenhead Road, Seacombe.
The dad-of-two leaves behind a son, Sean, 12, and his nine-year-old daughter Terri-Ann.






The former student at St Mary’s college, Wallasey, was sitting with a female friend before the tragedy on Friday night.

Mr Boyd’s mum, Joyce said: “John was so popular, he was bubbly and everyone liked him.

“If there was an argument he was always the one to try and calm things down, he was never someone who looked for trouble.

“He was devoted to his kids and family, we had recently had a new picture of him taken for his gran’s 80th birthday, we were going to visit her and he was so looking forward to it.

“Now we’ve told her what’s happened and she’s devastated.”

The second oldest of five, John also leaves behind two sisters Julie and Jennifer, two brothers Joseph and Kevin and his mum and dad Joyce and John.

Born in Liverpool, he was an altar boy in St Teresa’s church, Norris Green, before his family moved to Wirral.

Joyce added: “He was a great gymnast as a young boy, he was a natural athlete and had all his grades and was also a brilliant artist.

“The most awful thing is I had to identify him and he’s behind glass, I couldn’t touch him or hold him because of another post mortem.

“Until that is done we can’t have the body or make any preparations for his funeral. It feels like he’s been taken away from us in one way, but we can’t even bring him home.

“I know the police have to do their job and this is what we have to go through, but it’s the cruellest thing to have someone you love first be taken away from you and then become the property of someone else.

“We’ve been left with nothing, only our memories.”

His family have established a Facebook tribute page for John. On it his nine-year-old daughter Terri-Ann wrote: “To dad, hope you’re with the stars, love and miss you and thinking of you lots love from Terri-Ann xxx”.

Martin Peters, 45, of Briardale Road, Wallasey, appeared at Wirral Magistrates Court yesterday charged with murder. He will appear again at the court on December 17 for committal to Liverpool Crown Court.
