Calum was murdered days after his fourth child was born leaving his partner Bobbie heartbroken and raising their children alone.
Bobbie was heartbroken by Calum’s horrible death. Bobbie and Calum had four children together. Their daughter, Lyla, was born eleven days before. Bobbie now raises their four children by herself. She spoke about the anguish since Calum’s murder.
Bobbie said she and Calum argued that night, and he left after their argument. It wasn’t serious, but she regrets it. Those were their last words. She got annoyed when he didn’t come home and had to care for the children alone.
She never imagined what would happen.
Police told her that Calum was dead, and her world fell apart. She learned he was attacked and raped, which sickened her. He must have suffered so much. The children miss him terribly. Each has a teddy with Calum’s voice that says, “I love you.” It breaks her heart.
Calum and Bobbie met at a party in 2015. She was seventeen and he was eighteen. Bobbie really liked him. She thought he was funny, kind, and good-looking. They moved in together soon after.
Their son, Calum, was born in August 2016. Next, their daughter, Mirren, arrived in March 2018. Bobbie said Calum was a fun dad. He tickled and made the kids laugh, while she was the responsible one. They loved each other but argued often because they were very young.
Money was tight with two kids. They were very busy and started to argue more often. Running a home felt like too much pressure. They were still so young.
They split up. Bobbie had another daughter, Romi, with a new partner. That relationship didn’t last, then she and Calum got back together.
Bobbie always loved Calum. He met Romi and treated her well. This showed Bobbie what a good man he was, as he helped out and looked after the kids daily. She started falling in love again.
The couple got back together in May 2020. Romi was eight months old then. Bobbie gave birth to Lyla in November 2021. They were both overjoyed when Lyla was born.
Lyla had an infection and stayed in the hospital nearly a week, making it a stressful time. Bobbie struggled when she came home, as she had stitches and four children to care for. She and Calum had a small argument about housework.
Calum said he would see a friend, and she thought he would return soon. She was annoyed he left her with the kids; she feels bad now because she did not know what was coming. The police came the next day and said Calum was dead.
Bobbie held Lyla when they arrived. The police removed their helmets and asked her to sit down. She started to panic. They said Calum was dead, but she did not believe them. He was at a place she did not know. She thought they were wrong.
They described his tattoo, then she knew it was him. She felt shocked. She saw him through the morgue glass. It was devastating. She could not believe he was gone, so young.
He had his whole life ahead. He had four kids and a partner who loved him. Lyla was only eleven days old. She realized Lyla would never know him. She had a few photos of Calum and Lyla, but that was all she had left. It should have been a wonderful time, but instead, she was living a nightmare.
The police had shocking news for her. Calum was murdered by two men he had never met. These men drugged his drink in secret, and he lost consciousness. Then, they raped him and left him. He died.
