Mother warns of risk of online predators after son killed by gamer

The mother of a 14-year-old boy murdered by a teenage gamer warned of the “very real danger” posed by “online predators”.

Lorin LaFave said she was heartbroken and lost after her son Breck Bednar was stabbed to death at a flat in Grays, Essex in February.

Computer engineer Lewis Daynes, 19, admitted carrying out the murder after dramatically changing his plea on the day he was due to stand trial at Chelmsford Crown Court.
