Donor honours boy

TEN years after a seven-year-old boy was killed in Italy - and his British-born parents touched the nation by donating his organs - one of the organ recipients travelled to the child’s California hometown to help honour him.

Maria Pia Pedala was dying of hepatitis in September 1994 when Nicholas Green was fatally shot in the head after robbers opened fire on his family’s car as they travelled on holiday in Calabria.

Pedala was in a coma when she received Nicholas’ liver.
