Mother pleads for babies' ashes

A devastated mother has begged thieves to return the ashes of her two baby boys that were kept in a safe stolen from her house.

Michaela Bryce, 20, from Little Hulton, Greater Manchester, also appealed for the return of jewellery with photos of sons Kai and Tyler, who died in 2003.

"I just want somebody to show a bit of remorse," she said.

Insp Andy Sutcliffe of Greater Manchester Police said the theft was beyond belief.

Kai and Tyler were born in November 2003 suffering from twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, a rare condition which means one twin gets too many nutrients whilst the other gets too few.

Kai was stillborn but Tyler, who weighed 1lb 7oz (652g) and lived for two more weeks.

Michaela and partner Jav, 26, always planned to bury their sons' ashes.

Their heartache was eased five months ago by the birth of a baby boy named Kamron.

The ashes were taken in a burglary at the couple's home in Eastham Way, earlier this month.

Michaela said: "This has absolutely devastated me and my family."

The couple knew before the twins were born they would die because of the condition, caused by a disease of the placenta.

Michaela added: "When I was pregnant we knew there was a problem but we were always hoping and expecting something good to come out of it. We prayed Tyler would get better but he didn't and it was so sudden.

"We have always wanted to bury the twins' ashes and get them a headstone but the moment just hasn't been right. It is not something you can rush into and we wanted to wait until everything felt better."

Insp Sutcliffe said: "Perhaps they didn't realise what the item was, but I would urge those responsible to search their consciences and return the ashes immediately."

Sad - the robbers probably didn't realize what it was either and probably chucked it in hopes of finding some hidden treasure in the urn.

May the boys RIP - I doubt she'll get the ashes back.

Ouch that is harsh

how does she know they wouldnt just smoke a few cigarettes and ash into a cup and give it back to her?

they probably threw that shit out as soon as they found out it wasnt worth anything and it was ashes.

she'll never get it back, she needs to give up.

human ashes usually aren't the smooth

they would have to be retarded to give it back

in the long run of things it really doesnt matter. she will get over it. in 10 years she will hardly even remember it. why doesnt she adopt a kid instead of try and give birth to them knowing that they have a 99% chance of dying..kinda fucked up IMO

the thieves got whatever was in the safe + ashes
the mother got double grief from losing her kids + losing their ashes

^^there really is something wrong with you isn't there LOL

That's so sad :(

poor woman

People don't know much about cremation. There are many different ways to do it, from the total remains that are chunk like to the ashes you see on TV; which are put in a blender like devise. Ahhh..stuff I wish I did'nt know but do.

ditto...learned too much recently. I didn't look at them though so I don't know how smooth they were but I did learn there are different ways of doing it.

That is dispicable :(

Life ain't fair!

Damn assholes.

Hope they see sense and return them...

It's so sad...:-(

Karma is a bitch. I seriously doubt she'll get their ashes back....but the theives will get what's coming to them eventually.

it's ashes for fuck's sake.. get a grip woman.

one can onl hope
