The parents of Morgan Huelin, who died of a drugs overdose last July, have paid tribute to a kind, caring and compassionate boy who wanted to be a doctor working for Medicines Sans Frontieres.
The family have released a statement and a picture of their son with his young brother, at the conclusion of a trial in which five of his friends have been found guilty of perverting the course of justice by moving him from the house where he spent the night, to try to throw the police off their scent.
The statement reads as follows: "The devastation we feel at the loss of Morgan is just indescribable.
"Morgan was hard-working and conscientious, only last year we picked up his GSCE results, he had got 3 A*s in Chemistry, Physics and Biology, 4 As in French, Maths, Information Technology and Religious Studies, a B in English Language and C in English Literature.
"He wanted to be a doctor, working for Medecins Sans Frontieres and with those grades was well on his way. He just wanted to help people.
"Morgan was outgoing and loved talking to people, he was kind, caring and compassionate. All the qualities he would have needed to be a doctor we loved in our son.
"His three siblings all looked up to him as the big brother and they doted on each other.
"He was a typical teenager but always found time for his little brother, taking him to the park, teaching him how to skateboard and making him laugh by making faces in the soap every night in the bath. It’s impossible to explain what has happened to a three-year-old.
"He was sporty, playing rugby for his school and the island, and hockey for the school as well. He played the guitar and the harmonica and sometimes rehearsed at La Motte Street.
"He had a wicked sense of humour and was always teasing us."
