Jacob's parents have released a statement about their son who was murdered last week.
The family of Jacob Cummins, the 17 year old Baldivis teenager who was mowed down by a 20 year old in a car last week, have released a statement remembering their only son.
Jacob's parents said they were heartbroken their only child was taken, it feels like a bad dream and they need to wake up.
"Jacob was funny, caring and had a heart of gold. I would just like everyone to know Jacob was a good kid.
He loved sport and soccer was his passion. Jacob always wanted to help others and this year did a charity walk for Pieta House suicide prevention. Jacob was not in a gang. He was just a normal teenager, our precious little boy. We ask that you please give us, the family, a chance to grieve in peace and stop all the negative comments and remember a life has been lost, our baby boy’s life. Two sets of parents have been destroyed by this and no parent should ever have to go through either ordeal.
Rest in peace our beautiful boy.”
Twenty year old Aya Hishmeh fronted court last week, charged with murdering Jacob when the car she was driving ploughed through a group of five boys.
She's been detained, her next court appearance is January 31.
