Bryonie’s older sister, Clare Gawith, is now reading her victim impact statement.
Similarly emotional, she describes Bryonie as “my best friend and my right arm”.
“Losing my sister, the person I thought I would grow old with, is a pain that follows me everywhere,” she says.
She tells the court the impact of losing her nieces, nephew and her sister, as well as seeing Antonia suffer with the aftermath is “something that I will carry with me for the rest of my life”.
Outlining her struggles to sleep since the attack, she says: “When I finally drift off I wake up with nightmares.”
After she finished reading, the judge praised both sisters for the way they have spoken.
