The mother of Sheffield Hallam worker, Jacob Billington, has said that his death is something that their family will “never recover from”, at the inquest held into his death.

Billington, 23, was killed in a knife-attack in Birmingham on 6 September 2020.

Ms Billington said: “For us, Jacob’s death is something we will never recover from and has changed the lives of everyone who knew him.

“He wanted to be alive, he grabbed life with both hands and he was at a great point in his life.”

The inquest continues.
