The young sons of 35-year-old Irene Teap who died of cervical cancer five years ago have launched a High Court action for nervous shock over her death.

The abiding image for the Teap boys who were only aged five and two when their mum died is that she was “sick” and in pain and it is claimed they were deprived of her love and devotion at a crucial stage of their development.
