Victoria Hall’s brother, Steven Hall, is now giving his statement to the court.

He says the family’s “whole life” was turned upside down the night she was killed.

“Every aspect of our lives was damaged down to the way we think, look at things, everything including the way people look at our family,” he says.

“Victoria was only 17 years old. I have lost my sister, my mum and dad lost their daughter who brought so much joy with her dancing and everything she was.”

He adds that he has had “a life sentence” himself after losing Victoria and his mother will never know the outcome of the case, as she died in December.

“I miss Victoria every day and will do for the rest of my life.”

He adds: “Whatever the sentence, nothing will change what we had to deal with on a daily basis.”
