Mum of teen found dead in ditch after country music night out 'will be traumatised for rest of life'
The mum of a teenager who was tragically found dead in a ditch after a night out has said she will be "traumatised for the rest of her life".
Frances said: “I already knew he was gone, but to hear those words, 'there has been a body found', it’s just your worst nightmare. “You don’t sleep at night, you’ve got haunting visions of him walking around the roads in Fintona. Those thoughts haunted me and they’ll haunt me for the rest of my life.”
“He wore his heart on his sleeve, he would have thrown his arms around you and told you he loved you," she said.She continued: “I don’t go out really, I don’t want people approaching me. If I go somewhere, I go somewhere where nobody knows me. I feel very nervous and I feel very safe in my bubble at home, that’s my way of protecting myself.
“His friends are absolutely amazing. They come in here and throw their big arms around me like Matthew would have done.
