Shooting death still haunts girlfriend

“MUMMY COME and go for daddy. Daddy out there.”

Those were the words spoken by Amia, daughter of bread vendor Eton Lyken who was gunned down in Country Park Towers on May 5 while parked in the area talking with employee Andrew Vanderpool. 

“Every time we pass by the St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church where the funeral service was held, she points to the church and wants to go to her father. I tell her that daddy is not out there. He is in heaven, as I point upwards,” Mia Kirton, mother of three of Lyken’s four children, told the MIDWEEK NATION.

That tragic incident is still causing pain for the Kirton family. (JB)
